UK Black Links Business Expo 2014 - 06.09.14
UK Black Business is worth a staggering £10billion pounds to the UK economy. How much of this is spent within the African Community? The UK Black Links Business Expo is being organised to highlight; as we did back in the 1990's that there is a thriving Black Business Community and we need to start recycling the Black pound.
The UK Black Links Business Expo is an excellent way for businesses, to showcase their products and services to the African & Caribbean community. According to David Lammy MP 55% of Londoners come from an ethnic minority background.
The Greater London Authority (GLA) calculates that 3.3 million Londoners classify themselves as Black and Minority Ethnic (BME), around 40% of the 8.2 million people living in the capital. In fact, the GLA estimates that “the proportion of the population that is BME is projected to reach 50% by the mid-2030s.” The spending power of people from within these communities exceeds 578million pounds annually and they have a disposable income of around 30billion. But why do businesses in this community at times fail to expand like their counterparts?
Come along and -
- Get tips on starting your business
- Network with other business owners
- Sell your products and services to a captive audience
- Hear about business opportunities in Africa and the Caribbean
- Find out about other events taking place in the Community.
The UK Black Business community is a very interesting one, contrary to popular belief there are over 20,000 Black owned businesses within the UK & Ireland. These businesses range from SME's, to micro one man bands based in the home or done part time.
The UK Black Links Business Expo will assist in these businesses networking, open new business links and showcase their products and services to new customers. With the global community becoming smaller there has been much interest in the UK Black Business community expanding their businesses to other countries like Africa and the Caribbean. This event will offer these businesses the opportunity to gather information on new opportunities within these countries.
