Brooklyn businesswoman opens another B&B
Brooklyn resident Monique Greenwood, a Bedford-Stuyvesant businesswoman, innkeeper and former editor-in-chief at Essence magazine, has opened her fourth bed and breakfast (B&B) establishment, thanks to the “Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses” program.
Referred by the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Greenwood credits the program, which is offered at LaGuardia Community College, for giving her the knowledge and tools she needed to open the new inn in Bethany, Penn., this past spring.
The program is designed to help small businesses across the U.S. grow and create jobs through greater access to business education, financial planning and capital, and business support services.
