Introducing Home Business: Celebrating Clinton County’s Entrepreneurs
Clinton County Voice is launching a new section on home-based businesses, with spotlights, how-to guides and an open invitation to share your story.
Some of the best businesses in Clinton County don’t have a storefront. They run from kitchens, garages, spare bedrooms and farm sheds in Breese, Carlyle, Trenton, Aviston, Germantown, New Baden and everywhere in between.
Starting today, Clinton County Voice has a new Home Business section dedicated to them. Here’s what you’ll find:
- Local spotlights: profiles of home-based business owners, how they got started and what they’ve learned.
- How-to guides: practical, Illinois-specific help with registering a business, selling homemade food, taxes, zoning and more.
- Resources: where to find free advice, training and support close to home.
We’re starting with four guides:
- How to start a home-based business in Clinton County: a step-by-step checklist
- Selling homemade food in Illinois: what cottage food sellers need to know
- 12 home business ideas that fit rural Clinton County
- Free help for Clinton County entrepreneurs
