Despite these achievements, Latino-owned businesses often face unique challenges, particularly regarding access to capital.

The struggle is real. Latino businesses face a 60% lower loan approval rate from national banks compared to others. This makes self-financing their businesses a necessity, but it also limits resources and slows growth. Here's the catch-22: Without capital, securing further funding is difficult. This restricts investment in marketing, talent, and technology, hindering their competition with well-funded businesses. The irony? Despite limited access, Latino founders continue to build profitable businesses. They are effectively doing much more with less to no investment. Having funded their own businesses, Latino entrepreneurs have honed their fiscal responsibility, demonstrating their reliability as founders. They are one of your safest bets if you're an investor. Here's another twist: Starting a business often requires high-risk tolerance. Latino entrepreneurs often take the biggest personal risks - maxing out credit cards and using family savings. They're brimming with self-belief. And they’re building businesses that power our economy. Imagine what they could achieve with proper funding. Let's connect!

I appreciate Patti Rother, CFE post on empowering Latino entrepreneurs. In my experience, Latino entrepreneurs are builders, creators, and visionaries. We come to this country driven by a dream—the American dream. But too often, that dream is cut short, not by a lack of talent or determination but by the gap in financial knowledge that holds us back from fully seizing opportunities and scaling our businesses. This is why Profit Soup is designing a financial training program to help Latino business owners close that gap! Together, we will work to increase our financial acumen, a crucial skill that empowers us to build sustainable and scalable businesses. Here’s the truth: PROFITS are NOT Optional—they are the key to lasting success and growth!

A dynamic partnership between #BlackBusinessMatters and #SIPAB (Strengthening the International Presence of African Business) presented an exciting opportunity for Black entrepreneurs and businesses to connect, share ideas and foster meaningful relationships. The event ‘BlackBusinessMatters meets SIPAB’ aimed to bring together Black business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals to form lasting business connections and engage in discussions that contribute to long-term success within the Black community in Germany and beyond. The event was more than just a networking event; it represents a call to action. The Black community in Europe, particularly in Germany, has seen significant strides in recent years in entrepreneurship and business.??However, the challenge remains to ensure that the economic power generated within the community stays within the community, to fuel further growth and prosperity.
