Chattanooga Business Elite has been proactive in curating, sharing, and supporting business resources in our community. We've participated in numerous seminars and workshops from community partners such as TSBDC, Startup-Week, TVFCU Leap grant, Quickbooks workshops, and more.

The Black business community has been underserved and under-resourced in Chattanooga for entirely too long. The Urban League, State of Black Chattanooga report captures an overview of the disproportionate resources, household income, education, job readiness, and funding for aspiring entrepreneurs

In response to the pandemic CBE immediately started hosting virtual workshops with community leaders, elected officials, and support organization in order to inform Chattanooga's Black Community about PPP readiness and resources. We created our Level Up Workshops series featuring industry experts in entrepreneurial resources. We've partnered with funders, bankers, business consultants, entrepreneurs, book keepers, lawyers, Insurance agents, program directors and realtor for workshops.
