SBA Administrator Launches Small Business Boom Tour in Las Vegas with Senator Cortez, Speaks at LULAC Conference

On Friday, June 28, Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman, head of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA)?and the voice in President Biden’s Cabinet for America’s more than 33 million small businesses, traveled to Las Vegas to participate in the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Conference and launch the SBA’s Small Business Boom Tour with visits to local Latino-owned small businesses.

Administrator Guzman started off her day at the LULAC National Conference for a fireside chat to discuss the rise in Latino entrepreneurship under the Biden-Harris Administration and how the SBA is supporting Latino small business owners. During the fireside chat, the Administrator discussed key initiatives the SBA has implemented to support Latino entrepreneurs and small business owners.

In the afternoon, Administrator Guzman joined U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto to kick off the Small Business Boom Tour with visits to La Vecindad, ArtKore, and RENUOil – Latino-owned small businesses that are benefiting from the strong economy fueled by President Biden’s Investing in America agenda.

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, the nation is experiencing a Small Business Boom of over 18 million new business applications nationwide – including 222,000 in Nevada alone. Latino small business ownership is growing at the fastest pace in a decade, with one in ten Latino households owning a business today.
