Loyola Limited

Seven students had the vision of starting a student-run business at Loyola University Chicago. After crafting a business plan, it was passed to an entrepreneurship MBA class at Loyola's Quinlan School of Business as a case study. The students pitched the plan to the university and later assumed responsibility for a $3.2 million asset and launched the first student-run guesthouse in the nation. In 2010, The Flats at Loyola Station opened its doors. Since then Loyola Limited has successfully launched five more businesses, making over $4 million in revenue. Strictly undergraduate, Loyola Limited is charged with the initiative to create experiential learning opportunities rooted in creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. We achieve this by empowering students to start and manage their own businesses. The ongoing and current success of Loyola Limited is due to its current employees, advisory board, and distinct members of the university who continue to live, support, and believe in this experiential learning experience for Loyola University Chicago’s undergraduate students.
