The black business community forms a vital part of London's economy. Today there are more than 10,000 black-owned private sector businesses in London. Black businesses no longer simply specialise in a few industries, serving niche markets, but cover many mainstream market sectors. Their combined annual turnover exceeds £4.5 billion, and they provide over 70,000 jobs to London's economy.
However, there are unique challenges facing black businesses such getting access to finance, both private and public, finding suitable and affordable business premises, and finding the right kind of business support.
This is why I was delighted to be contacted by Dr Victor Thompson editor of the Knowledge Fountain: http://www.knowledgefountain.co.uk/index.htm, the UK's largest and fastest growing black business magazine for an interview, due for publication next month.
The current issue is availible for free and back issues are availible for purchase on their website. Do take the time out to have a look an the amazing heights that ethnic owned businesses are reaching in the UK .
