We are the Fordham Business Development Collaboratory, an organization sponsored by the Social Innovation Collaboratory of Fordham University. As you know, the past few months have been some of the most damaging many businesses have seen in the last decade. In particular small businesses, the backbone of the United States economy, have been utterly crippled. As members of the Bronx community through Fordham University, we could not sit idly by as our community suffered greatly from this pandemic and recession. This prompted us to assemble student teams that could help small businesses throughout the Bronx and New York City. 

	Our goal is to provide strategic advice to businesses around the Bronx on finance, compliance, marketing, and technology. The finance team assists with financial analyses of the business as well as performing projects like implementing contactless payment systems. The compliance team assists with loan applications, as well as providing guidance on new rules and guidelines regarding businesses and the COVID-19 pandemic. The marketing team helps grow social media presence and can develop or improve websites for our clients. Finally, the technology team will advise these small businesses on cyber risk and any technological concerns these businesses may have.
