Be a Part of One of the Best Franchises for Minorities
Minorities in the US play a vital role in business and are an engine of employment in emerging communities and in the senior care industry. According to the US Department of Commerce, in 2002 there were 4 million minority-owned businesses, which employed 4.7 million people and grossed $661 billion. If these businesses had matched the population of minorities in the country, however, we would have expected numbers in the range of 6.5 million businesses employing 16.1 million workers and grossing over $2.5 trillion, according to a Department of Commerce report1. This disparity illustrates that minorities still face obstacles to becoming business owners in the US.
The Biggest Obstacles Facing Prospective Business Owners
One of the greatest obstacles for minorities continues to be lack of access to capital. Minorities are more likely to be denied credit and pay higher interest rates on loans, according to the report. Individuals looking to own and operate a franchise need initial capital to start the business, as well as working capital and business loans to grow. Because of our current financial environment an even greater burden is placed on minority entrepreneurs struggling to keep their businesses alive.
