WHAT WE DO

The British African Business Network formerly known as the African Diaspora Business Network is a not- for- profit organisation and was established in December 2020 at the peak of the pandemic. It seeks to promote and support African businesses to help them to grow and succeed. The network has created a platform for collaboration and partnerships in the business community, where community members support each other’s business. We aim to build a community of strong businesses that can compete on an international level.

WHY US

We are also the voice of our business community, which arose on the back of our engagement with the UK government All Party Parliamentary Group for Black Asian and Ethnic Minority Business Owners, where we realised that the African demography was not fully identified within the Black Asian and Ethnic Minority Business community, who as a whole, were experiencing various barriers to their growth including, but not limited to: 

  • Lack of access to information 
  • Lack of access to funding
  • Lack of access to opportunities
  • Lack of training in completing application forms for grants and loans
  • Challenges with pre- qualification for procurement and related services.
