The Financial Business Training Institute (FBTI) is a charitable non-profit organization that operates out its headquarters in Orlando, Florida. FBTI’s main objective is to assist businesses owners grow by expanding their business relationships, exposing them to contracting opportunities and making resources relevant to their industry available through Training, Education, Fundraising, and Networking opportunities. The FBTI’s primary target population is minority and underserved businesses throughout the state of Florida.
The FBTI understands that small businesses make up the majority of U.S. firms and also account for the majority of job creation in the United States. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, “Minority businesses make up almost 15 percent of the 28 million small businesses and employ 5.9 million workers in the U.S.” This growth is contributed by factors including growth of the minority labor force, overall population and increased immigration.

Together, these partnership organizations bring a considerable amount of expertise and add valuable experience in the areas such as financial capacity, business strategies, legal, marketing and management. Representatives ensure that the clients’ initiatives are aligned with their overall business development strategies. This combined leadership brings a tremendous depth of expertise and resources that uniquely qualify the FBTI to meet the needs of the clients through many of our specialized Business Training sessions.
