Over the past decade, Latinos have launched more small businesses than any other demographic in this country*. In 2019, they contributed nearly $500B to the U.S. economy in annual sales*. While these businesses are a critical part of the U.S. economy, Latino-owned businesses are among the most impacted by this pandemic.
