Challenges Facing Latino Entrepreneurs
Latinos struggle more than other ethnic groups in accessing business loans from banks
Only 12% of Latino-owned businesses (LOBs) access bank loans, compared to 18.4% for white-, 15.3% for Asian-,
and 14.2% for black-owned firms
Why aren’t LOBs getting bank loans?
● Two out of every three scaled firms(1)
do not have a business or financial plan, current balance sheet, or other
materials needed to access external funding.
● Latino business owners are uneasy about putting up their personal collateral to secure the loan
● Latina-owned businesses, representing nearly half of LOBs, perceive themselves as “not qualified” to receive
funding from financial institutions compared to men, even when holding firm size constant
● Undocumented status is keeping 912,472(2)
in the shadows, equivalent to ~28% of LOBs reported in the 2012
