  • About the Editor

    My name is Chinwe Onyeagoro and I am the editor of New Equity Daily. Five years ago I started a small business called O-H Community Partners in Chicago and one of the lessons I’ve learned is it’s not enough to simply concentrate on producing a good product or providing quality service or offer the best price. There’s an extra component that is crucial to the survival and growth of our businesses: funding and financing whether we are starting up or trying to maintain our operations or planning to grow. Without adequate funding, small businesses like ours run the risk of stagnating, or even closing. Financing is out there. It’s available. It’s just harder to find.

    I created NewEquityDaily.com to provide a simple, straightforward way to help other small businesses and investors understand and take advantage of available government, foundation, community development financial institutions, and alternative financing solutions. All without having to spend precious time and resources trying to find, and then make sense of the confusing and sometimes seemingly contradictory information that is available.
