Business Resources

---

CEDARS – Cultivating Entrepreneurial Development at our RootS, is  a voluntary grassroots collaboration between the communities of Les  Cheneaux and St. Ignace to inspire and support business ownership in  Mackinac County. We do this by connecting current and prospective  business owners and managers with resources, professional assistance and  ideas. We are part of the Creating Entrepreneurial Communities (CEC)  Project administered by the Michigan Land Policy Institute.
 

Many of our resource partners are linked here. Please use this page as a  gateway to additional information about starting and managing a  business, and contact our Chambers of Commerce for additional  assistance!  
 

The following web sites contain exciting resources and information for  new and existing businesses. All of these resources are based in  Michigan and several are based in the Upper Peninsula.
