Charlotte’s list of Black-owned businesses is constantly growing. With the growth of the city has come more residents and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to begin new ventures in the Queen City. 2020 brought an influx of intentional support for Black-owned and minority businesses, as well.
Black-owned and minority owned businesses are often at a disadvantage in comparison to their non-minority counterparts. Some face difficulty in securing capital and are forced to self-fund, using their life savings toward their dream business.
If you want to do your part to support Charlotte-area Black business owners, here is a list, organized by category. Click below to jump to the category you’d like to search:
