Abstract: Based on actual and sustained period of engagement with capacity development issues in the context of black-owned businesses in London, I address in this chapter the profound changes that are taking place within the main sectors of endeavour as well as the constraints and prospects for future growth and sustainability. I conclude that there are inescapable public policy imperatives which need to be overcome in order to ensure a more effective participation of black people in the mainstream British economy. Consequently, a more robust model of engagement is called for; in order to stem the tide of economic/social exclusion.
