The Power Of Black Ownership
Although London has a Black population of 12% it is estimated that only 3% of registered businesses are Black owned. This is a significant under-representation compared to other groups. Most Black owned businesses are small and 25% of Black business owners are women. Black businesses are often more likely to introduce innovations in goods, services and business processes.
