Fact: In the last 7 years the number of
black-owned businesses increased 45%,
Hispanic-owned ones increased by 31%,
and Asian-owned ones are up 24%.
Businesses owned by women, regardless
of race, grew 20%.






At the forefront of this phenomenal growth in Minority owned businesses
is the exponential expansion of Government Programs for new and existing
business. Whether you are looking for financing for a new or existing
business, strategic business planning services, or regulatory and legal
advice, the government has funded a broad range of business oriented
programs to meet your need including:

 HUBZone Program
 Minority Business Development Agency
 Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week Conference
 SBA Office of 8(a) Business Development
 SBA Office of Native American Affairs
