Urban Business Support

Urban Business Support's motto is Development Without Displacement. Investments in low-income communities should come to the benefit of those who live and work there. We provide business plan training to entrepreneurs in gentrifying neighborhoods.

About

Urban Business Support offers business plan training to entrepreneurs in gentrifying neighborhoods to retain the diversity of our communities and protect the livelihoods of thousands of families. Our program is three steps: First is our Business Plan in a Day workshop. Using a mobile app, an entrepreneur creates a basic business plan in just six hours. The next step is our Entrepreneurship Program. It lasts 10 weeks, 3 hours per week. In addition to going more in-depth into the subjects covered in the Business Plan in a Day, we also cover financial projections, personal budgeting, and leadership skills. Finally, graduates of the Entrepreneurship Program are paired with a Business Advisor. This Advisor works an hour a week for eight weeks to help implement and further develop the business plan, tailored to the needs of the entrepreneur.
