Black Business List

The Data . . .

There are more than 2 million Black-owned businesses in the United States.
Black-owned businesses generated $150.2 billion in gross revenue as recently as 2012.
58% of Black business owners said their business’s financial health is “at risk” or “distressed” during the COVID-19 pandemic.
35% of Black business owners are women.
Black-owned businesses employ approximately 920,000 people.
Black business owners receive less business financing, less often, and at higher rates.
Just 1% of Black business owners obtain business loans in their first year.
While African Americans make up just 14% of the population, we are responsible for some $1.2 trillion in purchases annually.
Blacks have an estimated $1.3 trillion gross national income but only two percent is recirculated in the Black community.
