Unlocking the Power of Somali Businesses
About This Grant
The Somali Independent Business Alliance (SIBA) is launching a project to empower Somali small businesses citywide. The project will involve a comprehensive one-on-one survey and a subsequent workshop to identify and address the unique needs and challenges of this community. The survey will collect data on operational challenges, resource gaps, community impact, and future aspirations of 20-25 Somali small businesses. At the end we will hold a workshop that will provide valuable information and guidance on topics such as financial resources, marketing strategies, and legal assistance. This workshop will also provide a platform for businesses to network and collaborate. SIBA aims to empower small business and thus lead to economic growth through this project. Giving businesses knowledge to find the right resources will enhance decision-making and economic performance. This will in turn benefit the entire city.
