Helping Small Businesses Thrive
Small businesses are the lifeblood of communities, especially if run by owners who cater to local needs and keep money in the community. IMPACCT Brooklyn provides comprehensive services to help entrepreneurs get started, grow or expand their businesses. Our mission is to be a catalyst for economic development—creating alliances with elected officials, local business groups, and individual businesses to stabilize neighborhoods.
