With costs rising, many food and drink businesses are under pressure, and Black-owned businesses face particular challenges.
NatWest has highlighted the significant barriers Black-owned businesses encounter when trying to access finance. Be Inclusive Hospitality has found that Black workers are most likely to highlight ethnicity as a factor in hindering their career progression.
The Uber Black Business Fund is here to help. From 5 October to 15 November 2023, Black-owned restaurants with fewer than five locations can apply to the fund for a grant.
Twenty-five restaurants will each receive £10,000 to give their businesses a valuable boost, with at least half the grants going to businesses outside London.
