About Us

We help Afghan entrepreneurs and business owners in the United States to succeed both locally and globally.

At the Afghan Business Council (ABC), our mission is crystal clear: We are dedicated to empowering Afghan-owned and -operated businesses established in the United States. Our primary goal is to provide comprehensive support and resources that enable Afghan entrepreneurs and business owners to not only achieve success but to flourish in both their domestic and international endeavors.

Through strategic initiatives, mentorship programs, access to vital resources such as private credit and human capital, and a robust network of national and international connections, we aim to be the driving force behind the growth and prosperity of Afghan entrepreneurs and business owners.

Our commitment extends to fostering an environment where these businesses can thrive on the national stage within the United States, and simultaneously, we strive to facilitate their expansion into international markets. By bridging the gap between local and global opportunities, the Afghan Business Council serves as a catalyst for economic development, ensuring that Afghan-owned businesses contribute meaningfully to both the U.S. and the global business landscape
