Small Business Initiative

Picture
Since 2007 the number of Hispanic-owned businesses in the U.S. has grown from 1.7 million to over 3.5 million and is rising at an annual rate of 7%. Likewise, nonprofit organizations are serving the rapidly growing Latino population in a wide variety of human service, education, and community development areas. Forbes Magazine reports that Latino enterprises account for one third of new businesses and $100 billion in annual payrolls.

The Institute is implementing a Small Business Initiative to help bring together Hispanic entrepreneurs and nonprofits with sources of financing and business assistance in the private, government, and foundation sectors. See our newsletter PANORAMA.


Iniciativa Empresas Pequeñas
Desde el 2007 el numero de negocios hispanos en los Estados Unidos ha crecido de 1.7 millones a 3.5 millones, y su crecimiento anual es 7%. Del mismo modo, las organizaciones sin fines de lucro están sirviendo a la creciente población latina en una amplia variedad de áreas como servicios humanos, educación y desarrollo comunitario. La revista Forbes informa que empresas latinas representan un tercio de los nuevos negocios y nominas de $100 billones anuales.

El Instituto está implementando una Iniciativa Empresas Pequeñas para ayudar a acercar a los empresarios hispanos y organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro con fuentes de financiación en los sectores privado, gubernamental y de fundaciones. Vease nuestro noticiero PANORAMA.
