Manage episode 499838408 series 3654798
In this episode of Founders Future, with host Mishal Saeed, Janneh Wright, founder of PRIMUS Business Management, shares how his consultancy empowers startups and nonprofits with back-office solutions to drive economic empowerment in minority communities. Inspired by post-9/11 challenges in NYC, Janneh reveals how PRIMUS’s "3 C Model" (Compliance, Culture, Consistency) helps businesses build scalable foundations—from accounting to HR—while avoiding costly pitfalls like $15K Workman’s Comp mistakes. He discusses the shift from being a "business handyman" to a strategic partner, emphasizing how systemic gaps disproportionately impact Black and minority-owned businesses.
Janneh also opens up about scaling PRIMUS’s mission-driven model, balancing client growth with personalized service, and why paid ads failed for his niche. With plans to expand through webinars, trainings, and delegating sales, he envisions a future where small businesses thrive as generational legacies. His rallying cry? "Jump—start now, because life will always get in the way." For Janneh, success isn’t just revenue—it’s transforming communities by helping entrepreneurs turn $50K investments into lasting wealth.
