About the nbbsc

---

Focusing  on economic development and job creation, we were originally founded in  1988 as the Florida Black Business Support Corporation to assist in the  growth of Florida’s economy by providing financing and financing  assistance to small businesses. Through those efforts, we worked  directly with Florida’s small business community, providing technical  assistance to business owners in the areas of creating/understanding  financial statements, development of Business Plans and marketing, among  others. This technical assistance is provided through workshops,  one-on-one meetings, and teleconference calls.

After  years of planning and preparation, our efforts expanded to a national  focus. Currently, the National Black Business Support Corporation offers  business financial literacy training, assists our clients in securing  access to capital with our funding partners and serves as an experienced and trusted fiduciary to our partners for their programs.

NBBSC  is a registered nonprofit corporation based in Florida and is an  IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Board leadership  has more than 80 years of experience in fiscal and program management in  its ranks, including 35 years of banking experience and 40 years of  business loan underwriting experience. Board Members are chosen based  upon their business banking and economic development experience. 

Since  1988, our team received $10 million in capitalization appropriations  from the State of Florida under what is today the Black Business Loan  Program. During that time, we were either directly (Direct Loan or  Venture Capital Investment) or indirectly (Loan Guarantee or Loan  Referral) responsible for putting $9 million in the hands of Florida’s  Black businesses in urban and rural communities. Since leaving Florida's  BBLP administration, NBBSC has provided technical assistance and/or  loans, directly through its own funds and in partnership with external  funding partners, to more than 100 businesses. These loans have  generated hundreds of newly created and retained jobs, creating wealth  and opportunity where it didn’t previously exist.
