Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot announced the implementation of a new reform to streamline City approval for small businesses in Chicago. Starting this month, businesses that apply for a business license from the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) will be eligible to immediately apply for an on-premises sign at the same time through the Mayor’s Fast-Track Business Sign program.  The Fast-Track Sign initiative will drastically improve time-in-line for hundreds of small businesses seeking a sign to announce their business this year. The new Fast-Track Business Sign initiative, announced in November 2019, goes into effect to eliminate a multi-departmental process and streamline application periods by up to 60 days, allowing businesses to announce themselves to the public immediately upon obtaining a business license.
