A full list of special Small Business Days offers and resources for small business owners can be found here.
This month’s event coincides with August being Black Business Month, highlighting Verizon’s ongoing commitment to support diverse businesses.
“Verizon Small Business Days are an opportunity for any SMB to come in, talk to our teams and gameplan how they can best navigate their growth through technology-driven solutions,” said Aparna Khurjekar, Chief Revenue Officer, Business Markets & SaaS at Verizon Business. “Fostering the growth of diverse business owners is incredibly important, and with this SMB Days taking place during National Black Business Month, I want this to be another moment where we remind the broader business community that we must always strive to support small business owners of all backgrounds.”
A Spotlight on National Black Business Month
Taking place annually in August, National Black Business Month provides an opportunity for consumers to not only support Black-owned businesses but provide them a platform to grow and build wealth within their local communities.
Verizon recently received the 2024 Corporate Partner of the Year award from the U.S. Black Chambers (USBC) during its Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. in July. As part of its commitment to supporting one million small businesses by 2030, Verizon partnered with USBC to amplify Verizon Small Business Digital Ready nationwide. Small Business Digital Ready provides free online courses, 1:1 coaching, networking events and incentives, including grants designed to support under-resourced small business owners.
Verizon Business customer Natasha Williams, founder of Lush Life Brands as well as Cincinnati’s first-ever Blk Wine Fest, which showcases Black-owned wine brands and producers, said that access to resources and technology is paramount as a small business owner. “It can be hard to know where to start as a young entrepreneur,” Brown noted, “and the resources that Verizon has been able to provide me are crucial to my success. For example, social media is a non-negotiable at an event like a wine festival. Without the support of my Verizon Business representatives to help me coordinate multiple routers and wifi at the events I host, I wouldn’t be able to create a seamless experience for my guests.”
Verizon provides further support to a diverse range of businesses through Small Business Digital Ready, a platform that is geared to give under-resourced small businesses the free tools needed to help them flourish and succeed in today’s digital economy, and grants throughout the year offered to businesses in an effort to create greater opportunities for said businesses within their communities.
Candist White, CEO and Executive Director of Moore 4 You Community Development Center and also a Verizon Business customer, touched on the importance of supporting fellow African American entrepreneurs during National Black Business Month. “Don’t underestimate the value of asking questions,” said White. “I strongly advise everyone to absorb as much knowledge as possible. We need to continuously learn from each other.”
