SBAC State Agenda

Our state agenda includes reinstating the Small Business Job Creation Tax Credit, cutting red tape for small businesses, and supporting entrepreneurs who have lost their jobs and want to start a business. You can find our robust agenda here.

Chicago Zoning Ordinance Filed

Alderman Yancy has filed an ordinance which will reduce the significant time and costs associated with obtaining many Chicago Special Use Permits. You can find this ordinance here.

Streamlining burdensome and costly processes will support Chicago small businesses and foster economic development, which is good for neighborhoods and Chicago’s finances. Click here to view the entire Chicago Small Business Packages, and the endorsing organizations and aldermen/alderwomen. 

Working at the Federal Level

We are formulating a 2025 federal legislative package primarily focused on tax-related issues that impact small businesses. Please let us know if you would like to engage on these topics.
