What Minority-owned businesses want is more customers. However, that is easier said that done. A national poll conducted by Small Business Majority revealed the drastic set of challenges that small business owners are facing today, especially entrepreneurs of color. They are experiencing systemic barriers to access financing and business resources.
Challenges facing minority businesses aren’t new. These issues have stymied business owners of color for generations. Starting a small business as a minority is not so different from challenges faced by other small business owners, except minorities face more hurdles and obstacles to overcome. Ultimately, the goal of all owners is to engage more customers and give customers more than what they expected.
