The business landscape is complex, and entrepreneurs often face challenges as they seek to scale. These range from limited access to capital and smaller contracting opportunities to cash liquidity vulnerabilities and difficulty navigating economic uncertainty.
Hispanic- and Latino-owned companies are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. business landscape, with nearly 5 million entities generating $3.2 trillion in total economic output. It’s an innovative and resilient community that has consistently grown, creating new job opportunities for the past 15-plus years. According to research from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and Latino Business Action Network, the number of Latino-owned businesses grew 57% between 2007 and 2022. By comparison, the number of non-Hispanic white-owned companies increased 5%.
But challenges remain for business owners seeking to scale. These range from limited access to capital and smaller contracting opportunities to cash liquidity vulnerabilities and difficulty in recruiting talent.
