Entrepreneurship Academy

Black Lion helps to guide budding entrepreneurs through incorporation, licensing, state and IRS registration, business plans and funding solutions—all for free.  We coach, sponsor and endorse each member until they are able to successfully build capacity and sustainability.

The Entrepreneurship Academy is taught by James Holmes Jr., who pulls from a wealth of knowledge and experience frm working as a financial consultant and finance manager for 35 years.  Holmes has created an original template inspired by the principles learned from prominent economic experts like Dr. Claude Anderson, Dr. John Hope Bryant, and Dr. Boyce Watkins.
