Community Business Guides (/start-a-business-for)
FreeWhat it is
Free empowerment and resource guides at /start-a-business-for/<audience> for entrepreneurs from specific communities: Haitian, Nigerian, Hispanic and Latino, Foundational Black American, immigrant, refugee and new American, veteran, entrepreneurs with disabilities, people rebuilding after incarceration, and Christian, Jewish, and Muslim founders. Each page affirms the community, gathers the real programs and resources built for them (MBDA, SBA programs, CDFIs, forming a business and getting an EIN with an ITIN, the ORR microenterprise program for refugees, veteran and disability business certifications, Islamic finance and halal or kosher certification), practical considerations, the idea engine, and the honest first steps. Empowering and accurate, never stereotyping.
