‘Flint & Genesee Business Bridge’ an online directory of minority-owned small businesses
Increasing the exposure and market access for Genesee County’s minority-owned small businesses is a key component of a resilient and vibrant local business community. That’s where the Flint & Genesee Business Bridge comes into play.
The Flint & Genesee Economic Alliance and I’m Building Something Consulting, LLC have partnered to create the online directory of Black, Indigenous and people of color-owned businesses in the area that will serve the interests of prospective vendors and clients/consumers alike. The project is funded with a $95,000 grant from the Ruth Mott Foundation.
“We know that people are interested in doing more business with minority-owned businesses but don’t always know where to look,” said Ebonie Gipson, project consultant and owner of I’m Building Something Consulting. “This is truly a collaborative effort.
“The Flint & Genesee Business Bridge is place for businesses to be seen and found.”
