Your Future Real Estate Transaction can Support Fresh Start Business Incubator

As a member of Investing In Communities®, Fresh Start Business Incubator (FSBI) can receive funding as a result of any brokered real estate transaction – home sales, home purchases, or commercial leases. As more supporters use this platform, before engaging a real estate agent, FSBI will have more resources to support local entrepreneurs.

Background of FSBI

Fresh Start of Illinois was formed in 2009 when the mayor or Libertyville, IL reached out to a number of the community’s business leaders to request help for the many people becoming unemployed due to the recession. These leaders banded together to assist in resume writing, interview training and other services to assist their neighbors in finding jobs.  As the recession wore on, the group began to realize that a lot of the people coming to them wanted to start businesses, control their own futures and put corporate life behind them.  The group reconfigured, brought in mentors, and launched Fresh Start Business Incubator.
