@CleveFed_ComDev A4: Building our own Latino Small Business Fund and bringing back relationship based lending. #VoicesInfocus

[Hispanic Business Center @hbc_cle]

@CleveFed_ComDev A4: The conversations have shifted into action. For us, extensive outreach, increasing capacity for entrepreneurs to engage in the virtual world and dismantling traditional small biz financing to ensure capital are key and urgent strategies.

[Hispanic Business Center @hbc_cle]

@CleveFed_ComDev A3: We also need to have real conversation with funding partners to make sure that products or services are aligned to support Latino Small Business. Access to capital should not be an issue in our small business community. #VoicesInFocus

[Hispanic Business Center @hbc_cle]

@CleveFed_ComDev A3: Extensive outreach is key and a tool to helping them survive these times. Many are suffering in silence with no hope on where to turn. We need to check in, build and grow relationships. Then we can educate, resource and support. #VoicesInFocus

[Hispanic Business Center @hbc_cle]

@CleveFed_ComDev A2: Many Latino biz tend to be cash businesses making credit is a challenge. There is a historical negative connotation within the community on loans. Lack of understanding how to leverage debt for business growth is a significant challenge.

@FINANTA_ @CleveFed_ComDev A1: Latino small businesses are very vulnerable. The current small business financing tools that have been a lifeline for many small businesses do not serve the Latino entrepreneur. PPP is a classic example of a tool intended to help but by design, inaccessible.

Prior to #COVID19, Latinx-owned small businesses had the largest start-up rate of any other group but were least likely to reach scale. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we will highlight the key issues that Latino-owned small businesses are facing in recovery. #VoicesinFocus

[Community First Fund @CommFirstFund]

Join us, @CleveFed_ComDev, @PhilFedComDev and other regional partners for #VoicesInFocus at noon. We'll discuss the challenges Latinx small businesses face in recovery from the #COVID19 economic crisis. #VoicesInFocus

[Phila Fed Com Dev @PhilFedComDev]

TOMORROW: Join us and @CleveFed_ComDev for #VoicesinFocus: Latinx Small Businesses in Recovery, a live Twitter chat from 12-1 pm ET. Follow #VoicesinFocus to join the conversation.
