Revealing racial disparities research, innovation and pathways to connect communities

About us

NIA Black Business Hub is the home of LCR business owners and entrepreneurs – established or start-ups, just like you.

We specialise in meeting the support needs of Black, Chinese, Asian and racial minority communities who have overcome barriers to inclusion.

We also work with business support providers.

Support where it’s really needed

The Nia Black Business Hub’s mission is to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges that Black communities face when starting or growing a business in the Liverpool City Region and produce a model of culturally specific business support, responding to the needs of Black led businesses.

The involvement of the Black business community is its lifeblood and vital in its objectives to lead and set a standard for the engagement and support of Black Businesses through listening and being directed by them.

Positive outcomes

Through this collaborative approach and the bringing together of minds, The NIA Black Business Hub creates a space where Black businesses can use their collective voice to shape the services they need and an inter-relationship with the mainstream business eco system.

As a result, and as a combined voice, the Hub demonstrates the value of the Black economy and how we address the disparity in strategic action and development required to progress Black business in the Liverpool City Region.

Get your business involved

People bring ideas and if you think you have something to contribute, or something to learn, we’d like to hear from you. Black businesses are stronger together and with a unified voice we are able to make real change and support our contemporaries.
