Building Markets

Building Markets is a global network of affiliated local NGOs that advance inclusive economic growth by connecting small businesses to supply chains, capital, and opportunity. Around the world we open opportunities for small business owners — who fuel more than 70% of the world’s jobs — to transform their lives and communities. Since 2004, Building Markets has combined its deep local knowledge, comprehensive data, and global networks to build confidence and strength in more than small business owners affected by marginalization. From securing $1.4 billion in contracts or loans to creating more than full-time jobs in places where they’re needed most, Building Markets is elevating small businesses as engines of enduring social impact and economic growth.
