Despite hurdles that exist, Latino entrepreneurship is growing, leading many to have an optimistic view of the future for Hispanic-owned businesses.
That was the tone set during the Aug. 9 Latina Empowerment Luncheon held in San Marcos as part of the Hispanic Business Convention (HBC) organized by the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce (TAMACC).
“With Hispanic entrepreneurs, they do everything. They take out the trash, manage Human Resources and the front and back of the office,” Anton said. “We need to educate them. There are a lot of issues, but they are meeting these goals and they’re getting the education they need and it’s starting to thrive.”Pauline Anton, TAMACC president and CEO, said Latino-owned businesses are starting to thrive in Texas, but education is a key element for success. Ultimately, Latino businesses are the backbone of the economy in Texas.
