National Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 Marks Historic Time for Hispanic Entrepreneurs
09/15/2023
Hispanic and Latino Americans have contributed greatly to countless aspects of our nation’s culture, including business. The historic numbers tell the story: According to the Joint Economic Committee Hispanic Entrepreneurship and Business Brief, the nearly 5 million Hispanic-owned businesses across the U.S. generate more than $800 billion for the American economy annually. Nearly one in four new businesses is Hispanic-owned, and those businesses are making huge impacts in their communities and beyond. Just look at U.S. Navy veteran and former California Small Business Person of the Year, Hernán Luis y Prado. Thanks to SBA loans and federal contracting opportunities, Hernán has been able to start and grow VetPowered, LLC, an advanced manufacturing company that helps veterans and service members transition to the workforce after their military careers. During National Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 - October 15 support the small businesses in your local area while taking advantage of SBA’s resources to help turn your ideas into big-time success stories.
The SBA is proud to celebrate the legacy of Hispanic business ownership in America. For more information, visit sba.gov. Para una versión en español de nuestro sitio web, visite sba.gov/es. Back To News |
