15 Mar 2023

Efforts to bolster business ownership by people of color are often inadequately designed and targeted, and the ones that are, if well designed and implemented, are nevertheless limited in scope and scale. This landscape review describes the state of small business ownership for business owners with respect to race and ethnicity, explores relevant historical context, and details support structures for advancing entrepreneurship in communities of color and for people of color. We review relevant literature and analyze data to better understand what existing publications and research have uncovered about small business ownership in America.
