Something BIG is happening here.

Business owners in Humboldt Park now have access to technology resources through the Business Resource Network.  The Humboldt Park Business Resource Network provides customized assistance to business owners to help them adopt broadband technology to improve their businesses.   

Does your business need a “technology check-up”?

Are you confused about hardware and software options?

Do you want to utilize social media such as FaceBook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to market your business?

We can connect your business with tools to bring in more customers and increase your profits.  If you are busy running your business, we can help you get the technology tools your business needs to be more efficient and profitable. 

Did you know that for the first time ever smartphone sales now exceed laptop sales?  Smart and mobile is the new trend.  Businesses need to develop an integrated online strategy that incorporates search, local place-based directories, social media, and mobile apps. 

Is your business eligible?
Any start-up or existing business in Humboldt Park is eligible.

What can you expect?
The first step is a tech assessment of your business.  From this a tech action plan can be developed.  The tech action will provide guidance on hardware and software that will enhance your business functions or revenue with recommendations for :

  • Broadband adoption
  • Hardware & software
  • One-on-one technical assistance
  • Workshops
  • Resources & referral to partner organizations
You do not need to come to us. We can come to you!
