Center for Leadership
The Rockford Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to improving our area's economy by having a constant focus on business development. We use a variety of different programs to help all of our local companies fulfill their potential.
Purpose of Business Development
The purpose of business development is to help Rockford's businesses increase their revenues through strategic decisions, partnerships, and expansions. Our goal is to provide resources that will put a business on the right path to being independently successful. We help business owners connect so that they can learn from each other's experiences. One of the primary ways that we do this is through our Advantage Clubs.
Business Development Programs
Our Advantage Clubs are groups of like-minded business owners and decision makers from all of Rockford's industries. The purpose of the clubs is to allow the members to network and refer business to each other. For instance, the owner of an HVAC repair company may join the club and meet someone who runs a glass installation business. The owner of the HVAC company may then decide to refer his customers to the glazier if they need glasswork done. Plus, there is only one representative from each industry allowed in any club, so there is no fear of competition. The Advantage Club creates a strong community of local businesses, removing some of the anonymity that comes with modern life.
Whether you already own a business in the beautiful city of Rockford or you are thinking of moving to the area, the Rockford Chamber of Commerce can help you develop a strong professional network to aid in your success.
