About Us
Business Showers is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization based in North Carolina. We organized during the COVID-
19 Pandemic in response to the growing demand for new businesses that desired to launch, in an
environment where many others were closing. Freedom In Me took action, despite our own financial
need, to give back to our community by supporting new businesses to ensure they beat the statistical data that
say's they won't make it past the first 3yrs. This one-of-a-kind initiative to build-back strong communities
continues to gain support and momentum nationwide.

What We Do
Our Commitment to Small Business Success
To increase the success rate for small business owners within the first three years of business, by combating some of the top reasons new businesses fail: lack of training, money and people resources, marketing strategies, and business plans. By addressing these challenges, we aim to enhance business opportunities in North Carolina and help new business owners succeed.
