• Starting a Business in Illinois will take place from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, April 3. This seminar is ideal for entrepreneurs considering starting a business in Illinois.

Cost is $35. Use course code: NBD S26 002 when registering.

• Protect Your Business From Cyberattacks, a free event sponsored by Microsoft, will take place from 8-10 a.m. Thursday, April 19. Cybersecurity is critically important to every business. Yet statistics show that 66 percent of small- and medium-sized businesses will close within a year after an attack. This event provides small business owners with deeper insight into: the new wave cybercriminals, sophisticated black hats who operate like a well-run business, cybercriminals that can completely disrupt and harm your organization, and five ways to defend yourself from insidious threats. In addition, participants will receive a complimentary risk assessment. A complimentary breakfast is included. The seminar is free, but registration is required. Deadline to register is April 16.
