Business Showers is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization based in Charlotte, NC. We organized during the COVID-19 Pandemic in response to the growing demand for new businesses that desired to launch, in an environment where many others were closing. Freedom In Me took action, despite our own financial need, to give back to our community by supporting new businesses to ensure they beat the statistical data that say's they won't make it past the first 3yrs. This one-of-a-kind initiative to build-back strong communities continue to gain support and momentum nationwide.
Our mission is to increase the success rate for small business owners within the first three years of business, by combating some of the top reasons new businesses fail: lack of training, money and people resources, marketing strategies, and business plans.
It is our hope that by "gifting" rising entrepreneurs with the skills, services and support needed for a solid foundation, we will build stronger and more financially sound communities. Small businesses will be successful far beyond the first critical three years in business. Why? ...because the community comes together to create new opportunities for one another, our families; and society at large through strengthening the small business community.
- Our program added 40 plus jobs to the economy in under 2yrs and our program awarded 25 business showers.
- We've helped new businesses receive funding from the Business Plans created in our program equating to $1M.
- The organization received full funding from the City of Charlotte for the 2022-2023 program year.
