Every ballot cast in this county touches the block your business sits on — the permits, the funding, the streets your customers walk in on.

We don’t tell you who to vote for. We tell you that showing up matters exactly as much for a business owner as it does for anybody else in this community — maybe more.

Being informed is part of building something that lasts. So is being counted.

Know what’s on your ballot. Know who’s asking for your trust. Then show up.

Passion doesn’t pay the bills by itself. But it’s where every single business on this list started.

Somewhere between the thing you love and the thing you sell is a bridge most people never cross—not because the passion wasn’t real, but because nobody handed them the blueprint to turn it into a business.

That’s the bridge we build. Capital, coaching, and a community that’s already crossed it — ready to walk it with you.

If your passion has been waiting on a plan, National Black Business Month is the nudge.

Courtnee doesn’t just work at the Urban League. She works for whoever’s application lands on her desk
next.

She’s heard every reason an entrepreneur talks themselves out of applying — credit that’s not perfect, a business that’s “not old enough yet,” a no from somewhere else that just stuck. She’s also watched what happens on the other side of that fear: the ribbon cuttings, the new hires, the doors that finally open.

This isn’t a call center. It’s a team that reads every application like it belongs to someone they already care about — because by the time you’re approved, you will be.

If Courtnee’s face is the reason you finally believe this could be for you, that’s exactly the point.

Apply at cccdcorp.org.

Courtnee and the team are already in your corner.

Thirty-one days isn’t enough time to tell the whole story of Black business in Broward County. So consider this the highlight reel.

Every entrepreneur in this series is proof of the same thing: capital plus community equals momentum that outlasts a calendar month.

National Black Business Month gave us the spotlight. What we do with it after August 31st is on all of us.

The spotlight fades. The opportunity doesn’t.

Know your strengths. Build your future. That’s not a tagline — it’s exactly how this story goes.

Doctor by training. Entrepreneur by choice. There’s a version of this story where the credentials were enough and the business never got built. That’s not this story.

This is what happens when expertise meets the right support system — someone to help navigate the part of business school that never covered small business ownership.

If you’re the expert in your field who’s still figuring out the “owning a business” part, that’s exactly who we’re here for.

National Black Business Month is closing out. Applications are open at cccdcorp.org — don’t let this be the year you almost started.
