University of Delaware program helps Latino businesses

Latino-owned businesses, whether Hispanic grocery stores, landscaping companies or restaurants like El Dorado, are one of the fastest growing business sectors in Delaware, which is why the University of Delaware Small Business Development Center in Georgetown has launched a statewide Hispanic business assistance program.

On Thursday the center became Delaware’s first recipient this year of a rural business enterprise grant for $27,000 from USDA Rural Development.

Besides reaching out to potential and existing Latino business owners, the grant also will be used for technical assistance, training and educational seminars. A bilingual business resource center at La Esperanza in Georgetown also is in the works.”*
