Business Education

Government Resources

The LPCC has compiled a handful of resources at the following levels of government:

Lincoln Park Business Development Institute

The LPCC understands the importance of nurturing small businesses, and, as a result, we developed the Lincoln Park Business Development Institute (LPBDI), the educational arm of the LPCC. The LPBDI is a nonprofit organization that aims to educate and provide resources for business owners.

Founded in 2001, the LPBDI regularly partners with the DePaul University Coleman Entrepreneurship Center to develop and hold events and business seminars. The Coleman Center is an entrepreneurship support organization at DePaul that offers consulting services, educational programs and helpful resources to entrepreneurs and business owners in the Chicago area.

For more information, visit www.lpbdi.org or cec.depaul.edu, or call the Coleman Center at (312) 362-8625.
