• Minority Business Owners: Many minority entrepreneurs face barriers to business growth, including limited access to funding, marketing resources, and customer bases. A Major Connection’s primary goal is to bridge these gaps by connecting these businesses to communities that need their services, as well as offering tools for growth and visibility. 
• Minority businesses often struggle with low visibility, limited access to financial resources, and challenges in scaling their operations. Connecting them with clients in need of their services allows these businesses to grow, which in turn strengthens the local economy.
• Underserved Community Members: These include individuals who face systemic challenges in accessing healthcare, education, housing, employment, and financial services.
• Individuals in underserved communities frequently encounter difficulties in accessing key services due to geographic, financial, or social barriers. Many are unaware of available resources or find it difficult to navigate complex systems to obtain assistance. A Major Connection aims to create a simple, streamlined process that helps individuals access the services they need to improve their lives. A Major Connection will guide these individuals to available services, improving their quality of life and overall well-being.
• Community Service Providers: Nonprofits, government agencies, and social enterprises that are committed to supporting individuals in need but may lack the capacity to directly reach the target audience will benefit from A Major Connection’s role as a connector.
