At World Business Chicago, we are committed to supporting small—to midsize businesses that have been in business for more than two years, making at least $200,000.00 annually in revenue, and ready to take the next step in their business. We understand the challenges and opportunities that come with entrepreneurship, so we have revamped our access to capital program to better cater to your needs and aspirations.

Here’s what’s new and exciting about our revamped program:

  1. Financial Literacy and Intuition Curriculum: We recognize the importance of financial literacy in navigating the complexities of business operations. Our enhanced curriculum is designed to empower you with the knowledge and insights needed to make informed financial decisions and drive sustainable growth.
  1. Fractional CFO Services: Access to a Fractional CFO can be a game-changer for businesses looking to optimize their financial strategies without the commitment of hiring a full-time executive. 
  1. Accounting and Tax Technical Support: Our program now offers specialized assistance to help you confidently navigate these complexities, encouraging compliance and offering tax efficiency strategies.
  1. Project Consulting/Support: From project planning to execution, we’ll help you overcome challenges and seize opportunities for growth.

If you’re ready to take your business to the next level, we invite you to apply for our 2024 cohort today.

Simply visit the Application Link to submit your application before the deadline. Take advantage of this opportunity to join a community of like-minded entrepreneurs and access the resources and support you need to thrive.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact Zoe Saphir at zsaphir@worldbusinesschicago.com. We’re here to help you succeed.
