About Jim
James ‘Jim’ Welcome and his wife, Eleanorjan Green-Welcome, have sourced a world-class legacy of developing African American businesses in the Southeast region of the U.S., emanating from Georgia’s Capital and Alpha-World City of Atlanta — the heart of the Piedmont Atlantic megalopolis.
Data projections have shown that this Southeast megaregion — one of eight such regions in the Continental U.S.– will contribute to half of the nation’s population growth and two-thirds of its economic growth over the next four decades.
Originating from exclusive restaurant/club business development/live entertainment management out of New York City during the 70’s and 80’s, the team now enjoys prominence within both the boutique and personal franchise restaurant/club/retail market for African American start-ups in the metropolitan Atlanta region.
They manage a group of specialized business and music industry professionals that deliver on every level of management, venture capital, contract negotiation, political consulting, royalty investigation, copy writing development and implementation, technical and business writing, business plans, registrations, distribution, promotion, public relations, marketing, financial analysis worksheets, accounting, bookkeeping, personal and business tax returns, and more.
Over the last 10-15 years, they have expanded their consulting/business development & management into the areas of: warehousing, wholesale distributorship, private laboratory, shopping center development, trucking logistics, capitalization, market studies, and financial management/investment.
The success of African American businesses under their “remote CFO”/turnkey management has garnered gross revenues between $1-4 million per business. The team asserts its outcomes are derived from a highly original and unique network of experts-in-the-field, public-private partnerships and relationships, as well as their burning commitment to realize African American economic development/success through business and entrepreneurship.
As a global destination — with its Civil Rights tradition and proximity to the Hartsfield-Jackson airport — Atlanta has proven fertile ground for the team’s passion for business excellence, and their expansion into 21st century global/international business interests.
