Find answers to common questions about the Small Business Directory.
A small business is defined as an independently owned and operated company that is limited in size and revenue depending on the industry.
This resource is intended to allow Northwestern alumni the opportunity to support their fellow Wildcats.
At this time, business listings may only include alumni-owned businesses.
Before we post a business, we will verify that it is, in fact, owned by a Northwestern alum. Also, in accordance with Northwestern University policy, we will verify that businesses are consistent with the fundamental mission of the University and not in conflict with the guiding principles and brand of the University.
The NAA will conduct an audit of the directory every two years. If you would like to make changes to your current listing, please reach out to naainfo@northwestern.edu.
This directory is simply a list of alumni-owned small businesses. The NAA does not provide financial assistance to specific businesses.
