Black Business Boom and Boomin University stand at the forefront of a transformative mission – empowering microbusinesses, the silent majority, which makes up nearly 90% of the nation’s businesses. Our goal is simple yet profound: to provide minority business owners with the technical assistance, resources, and mentorship they need to flourish in today’s dynamic economic landscape.
Over the past three years, our reach and impact have grown exponentially. Boomin University graduates have been our best brand ambassadors, with a staggering 93% endorsing our programs.
Our delivery metrics in one-on-one coaching, group learning, and social media strategy crafting have been impressive, showcasing our hands-on approach to empowering businesses. Our partnerships with esteemed organizations further validate our vision and commitment. Furthermore, we’ve championed the digital age’s inclusivity, ensuring every entrepreneur, irrespective of their digital access, can benefit from our programs.
The dawn of 2024 stretches before us, not merely as a continuation of time, but as a vibrant canvas waiting to be painted with opportunities and milestones. Our vision for this year is carved from insights and data – a significant part of which came from our inaugural Black Business Report released in 2023. This comprehensive report, a testament to our commitment to understanding and serving the Black business community, shines a light on the pressing needs, latent opportunities, and the overarching ecosystem of Black businesses. We urge you to download and explore this report, for it not only underscores the reasons that fuel our passion but also provides pivotal insights that have directly influenced our strategies for 2024.
In alignment with our insights-driven approach, we have mapped out several groundbreaking initiatives. The Boomin Microloan Fund promises to be a game-changer, the expansion plans for Boomin University are all set to elevate our educational endeavors, and our strategic growth blueprint, inclusive of licensing our proprietary curriculum, is poised to broaden our reach and deepen our impact.
Black Business Boom and Boomin University are not just organizational entities; they are embodiments of powerful movements. They resonate with the aspirations of countless microbusinesses, propelling them towards tangible success and sustained growth. As we set foot into 2024, our mission is unswerving, our vision lucid, and our zeal more potent than ever.

Your engagement, interest, and unwavering support are the lifeblood of this transformative odyssey we’ve embarked upon. Together, we’re not just tracing a journey; we’re scripting a legacy.
The need for financing is a critical component in the trajectory of every business, especially in its early stages. Access to capital is paramount for growth, yet it remains one of the most formidable barriers faced by minority-led microbusinesses. These challenges are compounded by the traditional financing structures which are often rigid, layered with bureaucracy, and sometimes inadvertently biased. Against this backdrop, Black Business Boom recognized an opportunity to be more than just an observer; we saw a chance to be an active changemaker. The inception of the Boomin Microloan Fund stems from this ethos.
In essence, the Boomin Microloan Fund is more than a financial instrument; it’s a vision for a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous future. Each loan extended is a testament to our belief in the transformative power of microbusinesses and our commitment to ensuring their success.
As the educational arm of Black Business Boom, Boomin University (Boomin U) stands as a beacon for minority business owners, emphasizing the provision of both knowledge and resources. We firmly believe that for businesses to thrive, owners need more than just capital; they require the right skills, networks, and mentorship. This belief has been at the core of our curriculum, each designed meticulously to address different needs at various stages of business growth.
Through Boomin University, our aim is not just to teach but to inspire, not just to guide but to empower. We believe that with the right knowledge, resources, and support, every business can boom, and we’re here to make that a reality for every entrepreneur that walks through our virtual doors.’

At the heart of every transformative journey is a guide, a mentor who understands the terrain and helps navigate through the challenges. At Black Business Boom, this role is epitomized by our Boomin Coaching initiative, a dedicated arm designed to offer personalized guidance to budding entrepreneurs.
Recognizing the universal need for personalized mentorship, we’ve expanded our coaching services beyond just Boomin U programs. Many entrepreneur support organizations have commendable initiatives but often lack the bandwidth to offer individualized support. This is where Boomin Coaching steps in, bridging the gap. By collaborating with these organizations, we ensure that their program participants receive the same level of intensive, one-on-one mentorship that Boomin U graduates rave about.
Our strength lies in our team. Boomin Coaching boasts a robust team of 15 International Coach Federation (ICF) certified coaches. Each coach brings to the table a wealth of experience, deep insights into the entrepreneurial landscape, and an unwavering commitment to the success of every entrepreneur they mentor.
In the entrepreneurial journey, not only are business challenges prevalent, but mental hurdles often become impediments to growth and success. Recognizing this, in 2023, Boomin Coaching took a significant leap by integrating mental well-being into our coaching paradigm, bringing on board our first mental health coach. This addition underscores our holistic approach to entrepreneur support, ensuring that our members are fortified both in business acumen and mental resilience.
Since 2020, we’ve delivered a staggering 600 hours of one-on-one coaching, a testament not just to the demand for such services, but more importantly, to our commitment to meeting that demand. Each hour represents a business owner empowered, a challenge overcome, a strategy refined, and a dream brought one step closer to fruition.
At Black Business Boom, we believe that every entrepreneur, irrespective of the stage of their business, deserves personalized guidance. Boomin Coaching is our pledge to that belief, our promise to every dreamer that they won’t walk alone.
