Business solutions
Success is at the core of our existence. Our business models integrate the future of technology, marketing, financial and education. NBC extends our wealth of knowledge and skills to a community of brothers and sisters.
Credit solutions
Credit has often defined a person or an organization. Not any more. If so NBC will play a significant part in its definition of credit. It is our duty and obligation to teach our community how to access personal and business credit.
Our story
Entrepreneurship is nothing new to the Black community. Booker T. Washington believed that solutions to the problem of racial discrimination were primarily economic, and that African American entrepreneurship was vital. Thus, he founded the league to further the economic development of the African American businesses in order to achieve social equality in the American society. Members in the league included small business owners, farmers, doctors, lawyers, craftsmen, and other professionals. The league maintained directories for all major US cities and incorporated African American contacts in numerous businesses.
While African Americans make up just 14% of the population, we are responsible for some $1.2 trillion in purchases annually. Further, consumers of color are showing an out-sized influence in several key consumer categories, and are increasingly demanding that businesses do and be better.
According to a Nielsen study, “Black buying power continues to increase, rising from its current $1 trillion
Fast forward to 2019. Budgeting, investment, taxes, and banking are taboo, because there is a distrust of associating money unless it is in our wallets or purse. Networking Business Credit embraces the philosophy and business practices of Booker T. Washington. It is our goal to build an interdependent network of businesses and organizations owned by minorities and women. Within the network we will emerge business and credit. These business practices will and must be taught to younger generations.
Where We Are
NBC is at its proposal state. We are seeking investors, professionals and leaders who are willing to contribute to our vision to serve as an important business that will create strides in and around our commnities.
Imani is a member of Networking Business Credit. During a casual NBC event, she is one of the featured guests. During her ten minute pitch, she tells of an upcoming expansion of her boutique retail business.
Damon, also a member of NBC, introduces himself as a general contractor to arrange a meeting with Imani. During his meeting with Imani, Damon realizes that he will need plumbers, electricans, HVAC, interior decorators and painters.
Two weeks later, Damon and Imani sign a contract to secure his services. When Imani makes her first payment to Damon, NBC will report that transaction, to the business credit bureaus.
Damon subcontracts with interior decorators and engineers in the network. When Damon pays his subcontractors, NBC will report those transactions. Get the picture?

When Sisters Meet
They Sho ‘Nuff Matter
If African Americans alone were a country, they would be the 15th largest economy in the world, with AA Women controlling the lion’s share of it. This is a very important thing for consumer goods and media companies to get a handle on as this proves the need for more multicultural strategies. Another thing seen in this report was that shows depicting a diverse cast were the most successful ones amongst all shows on television. Shows such as “This Is Us” and “Blackish” are enjoyed and watched across all ethnic lines, which can only mean having a more diverse cast equals strengthening of viewership.
Did you know?
All human brains start as female brains, until the male brain is flooded with testosterone. But there they part paths. Men think in a linear fashion; women are circuitous and programmed to collect information. A woman’s brain has four times as many connections between the left and right hemispheres as a man’s. All of those signals hurtle down the superhighway into her right brain – the home of emotional memory, intuition and experience. A woman not only reads – she attaches feelings to what she’s reading. A woman’s heart is in her brain – tell her a story that is filled with emotion, and explain why your brand is relevant to her.

- Women account for $7 trillion in consumer and business spending in the United States
What Women Buy
Women make or influence 85% of all purchasing decisions, and purchase over 50% of traditional male products, including automobiles, home improvement products and consumer electronics.
Moving Forward
Nielsen’s Study Reveal
Black Women
The digital sphere saw huge domination from Black women with the expanding of such movements as “Black Twitter.” The report analyzed data that saw that women of color, particularly Black women, had the most economic control, with spending power being in the trillions.
Asian Women
Asian women who don’t see themselves represented look at outlets such as YouTube to see those like them as influencers in industries such as beauty and fashion. Asian women seek inspiration from Korean and Chinese beauty trends in big box retailers, with major brands tapping these women who are viewing YouTube videos for advice on how to better suit their purchasing needs. US-born Asian women were most interested in products catered specifically to them.
Latina Women
With Latina women graduating at higher rates and entering the workforce in large numbers, their multi-generational influence gives more insight into how they are spending their money. The study showed that Latina women saw themselves as 100% American and at the same time 100% Latina. Though they are modern and adapt to trends they see in the country, they are keen on keeping tradition intact.
Brotherly Walk
We demand respect, love, and well-wishes to brothers of all spectrums, careers, ethnicities, and lifestyles. Our struggles in and outside of our communities do not define us, but we will not ignore the pain that it has carried from generation to generation. The spiritual bond that others attempt to mock will continue to be the foundation in an environment of growth and healthy competition.
Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.
If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves and allow those responsible to salve their conscience by believing that they have our acceptance and concurrence. We should, therefore, protest openly everything… that smacks of discrimination or slander.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.
Powerful people never educate powerless people in what they need that they can use to take the power away from powerful people; it’s too much to expect. If I was in power, I would not educate people in how to take my powers away..
I’m hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.

How Do I Know If I Need Networking Business Credit?
What is Business Credit?
If you ever thought about starting a business, or you are currently a startup, own an existing business, or invest in real estate, then you’ve probably heard the phrase “business credit.” what is business credit
But what exactly is business credit? Happy you
Business credit is the ability for a company to obtain borrowed money that it can use to purchase products or services which is based on the trust that payment will be made in the future.
You get business credit from a credit grantor, whom you agree to pay back the amount that you spent plus any additional interest charges or fees, at an agreed upon time frame.
Now that you know the definition of business credit let’s go over the five types of business credit your company can obtain:
What is revolving business credit?
With revolving business credit lines, you have a set credit limit which enables you to make charges up to that limit. You have the option to either pay your balance in full or carry a balance (revolve the debt) and make a payment. Most business credit cards are a type of revolving credit for a company which you can get either unsecured or secured.
What is charge credit for business?
With charge credit, your company also has a set credit limit but the main difference is that you have to pay the total balance in full each month. This prevents your company from accumulating debt since you are unable to revolve debt.
Installment credit – With this type of business credit a lender loans your company a set amount of funds and you agree to repay that amount and interest in a regular monthly installment with a fixed payment for a set length of time. A business loan and commercial auto loan are typical examples of installment credit.
Service credit – Any agreements your company has with service providers are all credit arrangements. You receive internet service, cell phone service, web hosting, etc., with the agreement that your company will pay for the service every month. Keep in mind not all service credit accounts are reported to the business credit reporting agencies such as Dun & Bradstreet.
What is take credit?
Trade credit which is also known as vendor credit or supplier credit is when a business allows your company to buy products or services up to a set credit limit and pay for the total outstanding amount on the invoice within 10, 15, 30 or 60 days depending on the agreed upon net terms.
Why do you need business credit?
Business credit is necessary if you plan to use credit to make daily or major purchases for your business, such as marketing expenses, travel costs, equipment or inventory, or you want to be able to take advantage of the convenience that credit provides. It’s also important to realize that business credit goes beyond just purchasing power, in that your company’s creditworthiness plays a crucial role in future funding opportunities.
Business credit, like personal credit, is what you should build before your company actually needs it. The fact is your business may need access to credit to cover unforeseen expenses so it’s best to plan ahead and start the business credit building process now.
How do you get started?
The first step in establishing credit in your company’s name is to structure your business as a separate legal entity. If you haven’t filed the paperwork then you’ll need to do that before anything else.
Next, you’ll need to obtain your business tax identification number also known as a federal tax identification number (FIN) or an employer identification number (EIN). Once you’ve done this, you can open a business checking account in your company’s name using the EIN number.
Remember, business credit is not only about getting access to financing; it has become the driving force for setting terms on business lines of credit, business loans, insurance premiums, lease payments, and trade credit. With a strong business credit profile, you can receive more favorable rates and terms giving your company optimal use of its funding ability.
