The Building Black Entrepreneurs program nurtures entrepreneurs in four mains ways:
 

1. Providing business management training
2. Supporting relationship-building
3. Business Advising and Client Support 
4. Creating business opportunities.

 

Business Management Training

The BBEP achieves this by providing customized and culturally appropriate business management training including financial literacy and brand development through online classes with leading educators, business professionals and a personal support team; the staff of the BBEP.

Building Relationships

This leads to relationships with industry experts who entrepreneurs can turn to for advice and access to new networks, resources and services for their individual businesses. The BBEP Symposiums and online or in-person events are designed to create relationship-building opportunities, enhance learning from the program, support the entrepreneurial mindset with great speakers and presenters, and highlight the importance of Black entrepreneurship.

Business Advising and Client Support

The Staff of the BBEP pay attention to the entrepreneurs and design and deliver programming that meets the needs for each one's success and yet challenges participants to go further with their mindset and businesses.

Business Opportunities
