A Black Chamber of Commerce is a organization that provide resources, networking, and access to capital, in hopes of creating successful black business communities.
There is a need for Black Chambers because historically Black Businesses have struggled to get traditional loans and have as well lack the access to government programs or have trouble navigating strenuous rules and regulations.
