In The Black - Business Group
ITB-BG
The Concern and Problem
African Americans / Black People suffer greatly in and at business due to insufficient business knowledge, capital, access, opportunity, and barriers – racial/racism and economic/capitalism. African American / Black Business are disproportionate to its Black population size, income, and to Black-spending. The latter, Black-spending is a significant factor in the failure of Black Business creation, sustainability and growth, for the overwhelming percentage of Black-spending is conducted with non-Black Businesses, which doubly compounds the access to capital as prevented by both combined racism and capitalist roadblocks and assaults. Lacking knowhow, capital and infrastructure the Black Community/Population is deprived of business and wealth that otherwise should be present.
The Mission
The mission of ITB-BG is to create and apply solutions to the forgoing problem(s) – knowhow, capital, racism, spending – that will enable the creation of, growth, development, and expansion of Black Business(es) beyond such otherwise limitations; to facilitate a structure for business owners, entrepreneurs, business leaders, advocates, educators and allies to meet, share, and work together to support the creation and growth of Black Businesses – including an inward turn in Black spending, and neutralizing racism and capitalism as barriers.
Objectives:
To facilitate dialog among Black business owners
To foster cooperation and alliances between Black business owners
To support the economic development of Black businesses
To help increase the profit and revenues of Black businesses
To help facilitate and increase in Black consumer spending with Black businesses
To help professional development of Black business owners
