Mission: Ensure an accurate count of Black-owned businesses who are doing business within Mecklenburg County, while also collecting valuable data related to business type, goals, financial challenges, and immediate & longterm needs.
-The WHY: Over 60% of Black-owned businesses were denied PPP funding, with a large majority being denied due to the depletion of funds. Only 2% of corporate funding reaches Black-owned businesses. The BBOC Census Ensures Local, State, & Federal entities have access to data needed to allocate the appropriate amount of Funding & Resources to Black-owned businesses in Mecklenburg County.
The census also provides data ensuring BBOC & BBOC Partners can better assist Black-owned businesses and meet them where they are., to help them scale towards infinite success.
-Census Scope: Business Industry, Business Owner(s), Physical & Mailing Addresses, Annual Gross Revenue, Expenses, Challenges, & Immediate Needs.
