CHICAGO (WLS) — Since the beginning of the pandemic, there has been a shift in the workforce.
When times get tough, people get an entrepreneurial spirit.
According to the Census Bureau, more than 4.4 million new businesses were created in the U.S. during 2020. Economists speculate a combination of accessible technologies, home confinement and spare time may have been the catalyst.
With the start of 2022, there’s still an upward trend in entrepreneurship.
Knowing how important getting support is for a new business, here’s two new businesses that can use it in the new year.
Tecalitlan Mexican Kitchen & Margarita Bar, also known as TEC, has been a go-to spot for fresh authentic Mexican-fare in Chicago. They recently moved from Chicago Avenue in West Town to a new location at NEWCITY in Lincoln Park. Although they’ve been around for a while, relocating to a new area can be a challenge.
