The Indiana Black Expo’s Black Business Training Institute is working to help Black entrepreneurs navigate the journey and launch into success.
“There was a lot of things that we thought and we assumed, but after going through the Black Business Institute, there was no assumption. It was on paper, it was plain and it was all led by experts,” Warren said.“We are a small batch artisan popcorn shop. We make caramel corn, cheese corn and everything in between,” Warren said.
“The need is so big in our community. Minority-owned businesses need support, some training, some education to grow and become more empowered to do more in our communities,” Juan Gonzalez with Key Bank said. That support is crucial for black entrepreneurs who tend to face more bureaucratic and financial obstacles than their white counterparts, according to a number of small business studies and surveys.
