SUMMARY: This report presents the rates of Latino entrepreneurship in the U.S and their impacts. If Latino-owned businesses (LOBs) generated the same level of sales as non-Latino owned businesses (NLOBs) from 2002-2012, $1.38 trillion would have been added to the U.S economy.

TALKING POINTS: 

  • LOBs are predominantly family owned, only 8% of businesses have non-family ownership.
  • LOBs are more likely to use credit cards for funding, as â…“ of surveyed LOBs have been turned down for funding from banks.
  • Of the surveyed LOBs, 22% have never heard of the SBA, 51% have never heard of the SBIC, and 56% have never heard of SBIR, three of the most well-known funding sources for firms.
