For business owners
Own a local business?
We want to hear from you.
Local Exchange Network listens to business owners across Chicagoland — in neighborhoods, suburbs, storefronts, kitchens, and garages. Tell us a little about your business and we'll reach out.
What to expect
- 1
We talk
A conversation about your business — what you built, who you serve, and what's on your mind.
- 2
You decide
You choose what we can use, what we can share, and what stays private.
- 3
We follow through
If you want, we help find resources for your top priorities and check back to see if the help came through.
There is no cost, and taking part in a story does not commit you to anything else. Local Exchange can't solve every problem — but we will be straight with you about what we can do.
Want the details first? Read how we use research information — what we collect, the choices you make, and how you can change your mind.
