Dear BAME Business Owner
The UK is home to 300,000 Black , Asian and minority ethnic ( BAME ) owned enterprises . It is estimated that 66,000 of these businesses operate in London alone . The reality is that no Government office or public sector organisation has definitive figures on the number of BAME enterprises in the UK . Engage has built a database to capture the size *, location and turnover * of these businesses primarily to gather factual evidence of BAME enterprises and secondly to use our collective power to challenge and influence the procurement policies and procedures of larger UK establishments . We will be working with other organisations to capture this information , but we can only do this with your help .
Engage encourages all BAME enterprises to log on to the engage website : www . enagemagazine . co . uk
Registration is Free of charge
Additional benefits of registration :
• Your products / services are visible to organisations specifically looking to do business with minority owned enterprises
• Automatic notification and invitation to engage networking events
• Opportunity to profile your business services / products in engage magazine

Help us to make us a difference . Log on to : www . engagemagazine . co . uk

We look forward to your positive response .
* the size and turnover of enterprises is held in the strictest confidence and will only be used for statistical purposes . This information is not visible to visitors searching for BAME services / products .
