The Beaufort County Black Chamber of Commerce is not a traditional chamber of commerce. Our mission is to work with businesses identified by the federal government in the protected class (disadvantage business enterprise) that need technical assistance and information related to procurement opportunities, employment, certifications, access to capital, business development, networking opportunities, referrals, etc. We are the facilitator between public and private entities looking to expand their participation with disadvantage business enterprise.

We are advocates:

• Providing avenues for African American businesses to learn of resources in our community and state.
• Creating networking and referral opportunities among member businesses, existing African American-owned businesses and the greater Beaufort County business community.
• Assisting our membership with resources to secure capital and consultation for planning, controlling and forecasting cash flow needs.
• Pooling businesses to have greater access to meet insurance and bonding requirements.
• Encouraging entrepreneurship of businesses that will provide jobs within Beaufort County.
