We have approaching 3 million Black businesses but 92% have no employees. Blacks get less than 2% of high financing in the stock market, venture capital, or angel investing. We also lose $157 billion because of undervaluing our real estate today which - gives us less equity capital. High Powered Commercial Real Estate insider and Business Investor Gary Smith gives us the Scoop on fighting "The War On African American Entrepreneurs."

"There is a much much higher percentage chance of being someone like me and making a billion dollars in real estate than it is to be an average NFL or NBA player." - Don Peebles Roy Donahue "Don" Peebles is an American millionaire, real estate entrepreneur, author, national media commentator and political leader. Peebles is the founder, Chairman/CEO of The Peebles Corporation (TPC), a privately held real estate investment and development company he established in 1983. According to Forbes, Peebles is one of the most successful African American CEOs, whose majority projects are executed through public-private partnerships. In May 2009, Forbes listed Peebles in the top ten of the wealthiest black Americans, and in January 2015 it estimated his net worth to be over $700 million. In April 2015, Black Enterprise named Peebles as one of the "Business Trailblazers and Titans of Black America: 40 most powerful African Americans in business".

Black Business Month is coming to a close, but our commitment to supporting Black-owned businesses should not. Despite the progress made, many Black entrepreneurs still face significant challenges, including limited access to capital and lower revenues compared to their non-Black counterparts. Supporting Black-owned businesses is a powerful way to address the racial wealth gap, which remains a significant barrier to economic equality. Let's make it a priority to seek out and support these businesses all year long. Be sure to check out the DeKalb Black Business Guide that was put together by Decide DeKalb Development Authority, making it easy to discover and support local Black-owned businesses. https://loom.ly/nitvyF4

💚🖤❤️Travers J. Bell, Jr along with Willie Daniels co-founded first black-owned investment firm, Daniel’s and Bell, on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in 1971. The firm started with $175,000 is assets, but with Bell’s prior experience, that amount grew rapidly from series of successful investment decisions. Daniels later ventured off from the firm to enter the restaurant industry. Bell made it his business to give back to the community. His firm specialized in underwriting securities for burgeoning minority-owned businesses and municipal bonds for small Southern towns at a time when few institutional investors were interested in these opportunities. By backing firms, individuals, and towns that had been overlooked by a largely white Wall Street, Bell found a successful market while also spurring development in previously poor and underserved parts of the country. At the time of Bell’s passing in 1988, the firm had grew to the net asset of $15Million. His legacy lives on by his son, Gregory S Bell (writer at Black Enterprise) author of “In the Black: A History of African Americans on Wall Street.” -Investopedia.com #blackexcellence #InvestmentSuccess #BuildingLegacies

Celebrating National Black Business Month 👨🏿💼👩🏿💼💼 Did you know? The United States is home to an estimated 3.5 to 3.7 million Black-owned businesses. These businesses represent roughly 11.3% of all businesses in the country, a figure that reflects the significant and growing impact of Black entrepreneurs on our economy. Interestingly, this percentage is close to the Black population percentage in the U.S., which stands at around 13%. Despite these numbers, Black-owned businesses often face unique challenges, including limited access to capital, resources, and networks. However, the resilience and innovation of Black entrepreneurs continue to drive progress, create jobs, and enrich communities. At GNEC, we're proud to support Black-owned businesses by providing financial assistance, mentorship, and essential resources through our Minority Entrepreneur Fund. #GNEC #NationalBlackBusinessMonth #BlackOwnedBusiness #BlackEntrepreneurs #InclusiveBusiness #SupportBlackBusiness #BusinessMonth #Blackbusiness #entrepreneurs
