Small Business
Due to a lack of established personal and business credit history, immigrant entrepreneurs are unable to access startup capital to jumpstart their entrepreneurship journey here in America. Also, as a result of their lack of credit history, they may fall victim to predatory lending or may never get their business dreams off the ground. The Nigerian Center helps solve this problem by providing entrepreneurs with small business loans without using collateral and credit requirements. We will also connect our entrepreneurs to professional coaches and established industry-specific entrepreneurs as mentors and sponsors. Our small business team will provide the following services:
· Small business loans
· Technical assistance
· Business counseling and coaching
· Connection to business mentors and sponsors
· Business incorporation and permit assistance
· Navigating government contract opportunities
