About us
The Black Enterprise Resource Center
Courage:
“Every great movement started as we have started.”
-Baker 1931
Providing access to networks, financial resources, and capacity building to move Black economic development forward.
Black entrepreneurship is now at the highest level among all minority groups in the US since the start of the pandemic. Many corporations, organizations and funding sources have acknowledged the historic inequities facing Black business owners and are helping start, revitalize and grow Black businesses.
When you’re starting your new business or scaling an existing one, it can be difficult to know what you’ll need to succeed. Even if you have a clear vision of what you want and how you’ll get there, you may not always be able to put the puzzles together and predict what kind of resources will be required.
Our braintrust helps entrepreneurs plan, implement, deploy and scale.
Investing in business enterprise resources can help companies to adapt and grow. By having the resources they need to meet changing market conditions, companies can remain agile and flexible, and can respond quickly to new opportunities. This can help companies to stay ahead of their competitors and maintain their market position. The benefits of effective business enterprise resources are numerous and can play a crucial role in the success of a company.
