Nuestra historia
Built by the community, for the community.
The Latino Business Initiative was created to bring Latino entrepreneurs and business owners in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan together. We saw a need for a space where Latino business owners could connect with one another, share their experiences and knowledge, learn from each other, and find resources to help their businesses grow.
Empowered by the Better Business Bureau, the initiative was created to strengthen our Latino business community, increase visibility, and build meaningful connections that support success for everyone.
Nuestra misión
Dedicated to empowering Latino entrepreneurs and strengthening our local business community by breaking down language barriers, increasing access to trusted resources, and creating meaningful connections.
Through Spanish-language support, education, and collaboration, we connect Spanish-speaking business owners with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they need to grow and succeed — amplifying the visibility of Latino-owned businesses and celebrating their contributions to our region's economic growth.
Nuestros principios
