Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP)

A Grant of Privilege Permit is required when a business wants to use the public way for elements such as signs, awnings, canopies, planters, or sidewalk cafés. Honey Block Studio helps you navigate the application process, ensuring your submission meets Chicago’s Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) requirements. We assist with documentation, compliance checks, and approvals so you can legally extend your business onto public property.

If your business wants to place a portable sidewalk sign, you’ll need a BACP Sidewalk Sign Permit to ensure compliance with city regulations. We streamline the process by preparing the required drawings and paperwork, making sure your signage meets placement, size, and safety guidelines. With our help, you can promote your business while avoiding permit delays or fines.

Restaurants and cafés looking to expand their dining space onto public sidewalks must obtain a Sidewalk Café Permit from BACP. We assist in preparing and submitting your application, including required site plans and layouts that comply with city codes. Whether you’re setting up seasonal or year-round outdoor seating, we ensure a smooth approval process so you can focus on serving your customers.
