Ferncroft Business Loans, a small-business funding service in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, compiled this directory for owners in Sheboygan County. It lists the kinds of organizations owners search for, including the county government, the chamber of commerce, the county economic development corporation and small business development help, explains what each may offer, and marks every listing still waiting for a human check.
How to Use This Directory
Each entry below describes a kind of organization owners search for and what it may offer. We list an official address only after it has been verified; listings still awaiting a check are marked. Nothing here suggests that any organization is affiliated with Ferncroft Business Loans or endorses it.
Sheboygan County, WI Government
The county's official website is sheboygancounty.com (verified reachable October 18, 2026). County departments handle matters such as property records, some permits outside cities and villages, and planning. For questions about where a property sits and which office has jurisdiction, see the zoning and permits checklist.
Chamber of Commerce
Owners may search for “sheboygan county chamber of commerce” and its events. A chamber may offer networking events, member directories, referrals and programs on local business issues. Ask about upcoming events, introductions to local banks and advisers, and whether non-members can attend.
Economic Development Corporation
Searches for the “sheboygan county economic development corporation scedc” point to the county's economic development organization. Organizations like this may work on business retention and expansion, site selection and connections to local and state programs. Ask what programs exist for businesses of your size and sector, and whether they keep lists of available commercial sites.
Small Business Development Center
Small Business Development Centers may offer advising on business plans, financial projections and loan preparation; ask any office what it offers and what it costs. An advising session can help with building a projection a partner can read.
State Registration and Tax Accounts
Entity registration, state tax accounts and unemployment insurance employer accounts are handled by state agencies. Our Wisconsin UI employer account checklist covers the records side.
Small Businesses for Sale in Sheboygan County, WI
Owners searching for a Sheboygan County business for sale may find listings through business-sale intermediaries, commercial real estate agents, trade associations and word of mouth. Whatever the source, ask the seller early for tax returns, bank statements and an equipment list; partners financing an acquisition read them closely. Acquisitions can be financed with a term loan.
