Business Resources for Black Entrepreneurs

To be an entrepreneur means to take your destiny into your own hands and to be in control of your future. Bringing your ideas to life through planning and careful execution, and freedom of expression are some of the benefits of being an entrepreneur and running your own business. It’s not always an easy road, but the journey is full of learning experiences and opportunities to grow. All thriving economies need small businesses, and as we build a resilient business community today, we lay the foundation for a strong business ecosystem for the next generation. Below, you’ll find a list of dedicated resources designed to help Black entrepreneurs start and grow thriving small businesses.
