ComEd and Whiteside County are teaming to introduce ComEd’s “Small Business Customer Assistance Program” to area businesses. The County and ComEd understand that COVID-19 continues to create economic hardship for many of the Region’s business customers. To assist in this time of need, ComEd created a new program to help small businesses.
As of Wednesday, December 16, 2020, ComEd is accepting applications for assistance, that would be applied to a business’ bill in 2021, if they meet all qualifications.
The Small Business Assistance Program provides eligible small business customers, with a one-time grant up to $2000 towards a past-due balance. Eligible customers may also place a remaining balance into a payment plan of up-to-six months.
To apply for the Small Business Assistance Program, interested businesses should call 1-877-426-6331.
