What is the SMMCOC and what it has in store for you.

Generally, when we start a business, even if that is a small one, it is really hard to do a good kickstart to it. A lot of things must be taken into consideration, permits, feasibility, marketing, and all the things needed to start is a problem.

If we have enough knowledge and training to start a business, we will most likely succeed due to a lack of education and expertise in handling and starting your business. If we will fail but have a chance to get back up still, will we still be able to recover if we do not have enough capital to cover everything?

Typically, if our start to go down and we do not have enough capital to help us get things back on track, we will surely go down. This is one of the biggest problems that most cannot resolve due to the lack of education and support that someone is getting and starting a small business.

Luckily, the U.S.; Government saw some of these problems and wanted to solve this dilemma for all who wish to start their own business diversely. Hence creating the USMCC, and from there, they can help people from the country have a better fighting chance in starting their business and supporting every branch they have.

Southern Maryland is not different from them; that is why for the past years, the non-profit organization formerly known as The Southern Maryland Black Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (SMBCC changed its name to The Southern Maryland Minority Chamber of Commerce, Inc. (SMMCOC) to get distinguished as one of the Subsidiary of the USMCC.

SMMCOC aims to make the community a better place for all in terms of business and economy. Same as the Pillars of the organization that made successful businesses from small businesses. Since they have decades of experience, they want to share this with the community.

Giving back is their main focus; SMMCOC posts to give some ideas and tips, conducting education and learnings through webinars and seminars to provide all the things you need to do to move forward with your business and get the best success that you can have. Partnerships with other Minority Chambers can give the members more connections to other places for their business expansions.

Those mentioned above are only some of what the SMMCOC can do for everyone if we join the organization. There are a lot of things that they can still give and do for everyone who will be a part of it. If you wish to learn more about the benefits and upcoming events, please visit https://www.smmcoc.org/.
