DISASTER RELIEF ASSISTANCE

SBA AND BCBCC

Stop by at the BCBCC between November 6-14!  We are hosting the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Portable Loan Outreach Center in Beaufort County (PLOC)!

The SBA will meet disaster survivors where they are. Business owners can meet face-to-face with specialists to apply for disaster loans and access a wide range of resources to guide them through their recovery following the most recent hurricanes that damaged the Lowcountry and surrounding areas.

ABOUT US

ELEVATING BLACK BUSINESSES, IGNITING ECONOMIC GROWTH.

The BCBCC is a membership organization dedicated to offering products, services, and educational programming for multi-cultural business owners and professionals within the Beaufort and neighboring communities.  The individuals and businesses we serve are federally recognized as disadvantaged business enterprises and/or denied access to capital in traditional finance markets.

YOUR BUSINESS. OUR COMMUNITY. OUR FUTURE.

We have come a long way since our founding in 1999. Starting from an idea, about $5,000 and a handful of members, the BCBCC has grown into a multi-million dollar organization that that is changing the face of Beaufort County. Click below to find out how we can help you!
