options ↔ resources ↔ support

Hallinger Life Management’s vision is to create a strong, widespread entrepreneurial culture across Chicago and the entire Midwest. We believe small business ownership …
• allows you to be more empowered and financially stable
• protects the region from economic volatility
• and helps to reduce income inequality.


Our business strategy supports this goal by using behavioral science techniques to help you and other micro-enterprise owners survive past the one-year threshold and thrive well into the future. We aggressively promote ethical business practices that respect customers, employees, and community members as human beings AND partners-in-success while still earning healthy profits. We live this everyday and know that you and our other clients can, too.

Community Engagement:

We strongly believe that it is our responsibility to work with our community to improve the state of the world around us. Currently, we support Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center (an agency providing treatment and advocacy to abused children and their families) and WTTW (the Chicago area’s oldest PBS affiliate). We encourage you to visit these websites for more information about their efforts, to contribute financially, and to find out about volunteer or partnership opportunities.
