Ways anyone can help

Buy, and buy again. One-off purchases help, but repeat customers are what keep a small business alive. Make a Black-owned shop, salon, restaurant or supplier your regular, not your occasional.
Leave a review and share. Reviews on Google and social media cost nothing and are one of the biggest drivers of new customers for small businesses.
Refer and recommend. Introduce Black-owned businesses to your workplace, friends and family. A warm referral beats any advert.
Use them at work. Suggest Black-owned suppliers for your company's catering, events, consulting, design and contracting. Business-to-business spending changes a company's trajectory.
Back them with capital or time. Invest, lend, pre-order or offer your professional skills as a mentor or adviser.
Show up at events. Black business expos, markets and networking nights are where founders meet customers, partners and investors.
