The West Michigan branch of the Small Business Development Center hosted a webinar highlighting local resources for Black-owned businesses on Tuesday. Speakers at the event included members from local organizations focused on providing Black business owners with advice and resources they can use to grow and sustain their businesses.
The webinar covered many resources from organizations like Start Garden, S.C.O.R.E, Rende Progress Capital (RPC) and the U.S Small Business Association that all have programs specifically geared towards Black business owners. These resources aren’t just for people that are new to the business world, either. Experienced Black business owners can also take advantage of programs to help with finances, promoting their business and other needs.
