WASHINGTON, June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Dun & Bradstreet
and The Latino Coalition (TLC) today announced a partnership aimed
at bringing Dun & Bradstreet's research, services and tools to
thousands of The Latino Coalition's members. The partnership
will kick off at the Annual Latino Coalition Small Business Summit
on June 15, 2016.
"The Latino Coalition is a leading national, non-partisan
advocacy organization representing Hispanic businesses and
consumers. We are dedicated to ensuring that entrepreneurial
opportunities are accessible to all Latinos," said Hector Barreto, TLC's Chairman and Former
Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
"Through our partnership with Dun & Bradstreet, we will bring a
tremendous amount of resources to our members, such as making
available the tools to start new businesses and grow existing
ones. This will strategically aid small businesses to succeed
and continue being the driving force of our economy."
Dun & Bradstreet's services to small businesses include
creating and conducting research on small and micro-businesses'
access to capital, producing substantive educational content, and
developing new products to support monitoring, building and
improving small business credit and credibility.
The success of Latino-owned businesses is critical to our
country's long-term economic health. Small businesses are the
backbone of the US economy, employing almost half of the private
sector and creating the lion's share of new jobs.
Hispanic-owned businesses are the fastest growing segment
within the small business community, with a purchasing power that
will soon surpass $1.3 trillion in
the United States.
