SBIF Contractor List Updated
We're pleased to announce the SBIF program has a new and updated list of contractors familiar with SBIF. Visit the contractor page to check it out. Because of our agency relationship with the City of Chicago, SomerCor 504, Inc does not endorse any particular contractors. We provide this non-exhaustive list as a courtesy to our clients as a starting point. For the SBIF program, applicants must get at least two bids, but can use whoever they want provided the contractor has a City of Chicago business license and proof of liability insurance. If you are a general contractor who would like to be added to the list, email your name, address, city, zip code, phone number, a copy of your business license and 2 letters of recommendation from past clients to eevenhouse@somercor.com. |
