El Clasificado Continues to Provide Free Small Business Training Workshops for Latino Micro business Owners in 2008

Local established and burgeoning small business owners from across Southern California gathered at the Embassy Suites in Downey, CA to receive free business advice and training in Spanish at El Clasificado’s “Su Socio de Negocios” small business expo, part of an ongoing series designed to help Latino small businesses thrive. The March 12th expo was the second event of the annual workshop series, now entering its third year in operation.

With the nation currently facing a weak economy and a majority of CFO’s nationwide believing that the US is on the brink of a recession, according to Reuters, this “Su Socio de Negocios” expo featured a critical presentation in Spanish that explained how a small business owner can survive in a struggling economy. Approximately 150 Latino entrepreneurs attended the event, and dozens took copious notes during this presentation by Micro business financing experts Confianza Inc.

“We feel a responsibility to present these expos to members of our community at such an important time, when it can only benefit Latino small business owners who find themselves struggling,” commented Martha de la Torre, Founder and CEO of El Clasificado. “Many Latino entrepreneurs often lack access to basic information and tools in their language that help them operate their businesses more effectively, and we are proud to continue serving as that platform with Su Socio de Negocios.”

New and emerging Hispanic entrepreneurs were appreciative of the expo. “This is a good source for us Latinos. It is a good way to learn how to get a business established and what resources there exist for us,” affirmed Herman Mancera, a small business owner from Gardena, CA.

The event featured an additional presentation “Your Business Plan and P&L (Profit and Loss) Statements” given by Wells Fargo, as well as dozens of information booths, and kiosks to provide hands-on training. Event sponsors for Su Socio de Negocios included businesses that target Hispanic microenterprises such as Wells Fargo, State Farm Insurance, Comerica, Aetna, and Sprint. The next Su Socio de Negocios small business event is scheduled for July 28, 2008.

“Su Socio de Negocios” is a free series of small business training workshops in Spanish held in different Hispanic grassroots communities throughout the year. The expo series is presented by El Clasificado, a multi-media print, online and grassroots event marketing solutions company targeting the Hispanic community. El Clasificado is the weekly source of information for more than 1 million Latinos on everything from health and education to consumer alerts and real estate. El Clasificado is a verified publication with a weekly circulation of over 310,000, and is distributed in over 160 cities in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. “*
