Urban League of Greater Chattanooga

Since 1982, the Urban League of Greater Chattanooga has been an affiliate of the National Urban League, the nation’s largest community-based organization movement devoted to empowering African-American and other underserved individuals to enter the economic and social mainstream. Its programmatic emphasis is on education, economic empowerment, workforce development, Inclusion by Design Diversity Program, and the Entrepreneur Center, which provides assistance to small business owners.

About

The Urban League of Greater Chattanooga Entrepreneur Center focuses on supporting the development, growth, and success of minority, women, and veteran owned businesses in the Chattanooga area. The Urban League works with several strategic partners who support business development in the city through referrals, events, and training activities.

We offer loan packaging and funding guidance support for local businesses through a host of lending programs. We work with our strategic partners to offer start-up business training programs and one-on-one business counseling to expand the impact of our entrepreneurial work. Business owners have access to affordable entrepreneurial training programs and continued support from the Urban League.

NextLevel: NextLevel Chattanooga is an innovative program designed specifically for established small business owners. We provide know-how, training, and networks needed to turn growth plans into action. It is a great way for entrepreneurs to focus on goals, maximize your time, and make a big leap forward. At the end of the seven-month program, which uses the nationally-recognized StreetWise‘MBA’™curriculum, business owners will walk away with renewed mindsets, fresh perspectives, and a three-year strategic growth plan to help them move forward.
