Free help for businesses in their first 90 days.
If your business license is less than 90 days old, two Chicagoland service businesses will give you free vehicle graphics and a free property search consultation. Materials, design, labor, all included. No catch.
Co-founded by
Become a partner →Why this exists
Most new businesses spend their first 90 days on the basics.
Getting licensed. Opening a business bank account. Finding the first customer. Locking down a place to work from. Marketing comes last — usually long after the truck has been driving around unmarked for months and the founder has been working from a kitchen table for half a year. The New Business Project covers two of the first essentials — a branded vehicle and a real workspace — so when your business shows up to job number one, it looks legitimate from day one.
Who qualifies
Four rules. That's it.
No income test. No industry filter. No "must be founded by" requirements. If you meet these four, the program is for you.
Chicagoland address
Your business is registered in Cook, DuPage, Lake, Kane, Will, or McHenry County, Illinois.
Under 90 days old
Your business license, LLC formation, or DBA registration is dated within the last 90 days.
You're real
Active business, not a placeholder LLC. We confirm with your license document and a short conversation — no extensive vetting.
That's it
No income test, no industry filter, no application essay. Two minutes to apply. Approval typically in two business hours.
What you get
Two services from two founding partners.
More services will be added as additional partners join the program. Today, the program delivers these two — designed to cover the moments where new businesses spend the most time being underprepared.
From Chicago Fleet Wraps
Free vehicle graphics
Up to 8 sq ft of die-cut cast vinyl graphics on your business vehicle. Designed in-house, professionally installed in a climate-controlled Chicago bay. Same Avery MPI 1105 / 3M IJ180-CV3 cast vinyl used on $5,000 commercial wrap jobs.
Most recipients use this for: business name on door panels, phone number on the side or rear, web address, license number, or a logo. You can bring your own design files, or our in-house designers will produce 2–3 layout options for your approval.
From Regions PM
Free property search consultation
If you need office, retail, warehouse, or storage space in Chicagoland, Regions PM provides a complimentary property search consultation — including current listings matched to your needs, neighborhood-level rent benchmarks, and lease term guidance.
This is the same advisory service Regions PM provides paying clients. Whether you need 200 sq ft of co-working space or a 10,000 sq ft warehouse, you get unbiased property guidance from a team that manages spaces across Chicagoland — at no charge during your first 90 days.
How it works
Three steps. About two weeks.
From the moment you apply to a branded vehicle on the road and a property advisor on a call.

Get started
For graphics: drop your vehicle at the CFW Chicago bay for 30–90 minutes. For property: a Regions PM advisor schedules a 1-hour consult call within a week. Done.
