Advantage Illinois: Advantage Illinois Page Content Enhancing business access to capital is a top priority for this administration and the Illinois Innovation Council. The Brookings Institution recently noted more than 95% of new jobs are derived from business expansion or start up activity. Advantage Illinois will accelerate investments and ease the credit crunch for small businesses, thanks to more than $78 million from the federal State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) of the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010. Advantage Illinois consists of three programs to spur institutional lending to small businesses and one program to leverage private venture capital in start-ups and high-growth businesses. Illinois expects to generate a minimum "bang for the buck" of at least $10 in new private lending for every $1 of federal funding provided through this program, generating more than $800 million in private investments in Illinois' small businesses.

Many like the yard sale route which always seems to be pretty effective. However, that option isn’t always available. Sometimes you don’t live in a prime location or it simply isn’t the season for yard sales. Yep — I created a blog dedicated to selling my possessions. eBay and Craigslist are both great for many different, specialized cases but they couldn’t handle everything I needed to sell. Here are some steps to help you set up your own: Decide what you want to sell as well as take photos of the items. That’s basically it. This is in no way a promotional stunt for my own blog so I won't be linking it here. Good luck with the digital yard sale!
