The Hispanic Population

In the year 2010, the Hispanic population will be the largest minority in the U.S. The number of Hispanics in the U.S. will exceed the total population of Canada, approximately 31 million. Today approximately one in eight people in the United States is of Hispanic origin. http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/c2kbr01-3.pdf

In need of Spanish business materials (business plans, startup, etc.) for your clients? Document Exchange has the answer http://sbdcnet.org/docx/. Document Exchange is a new SBDCNET initiative that will create a way for SBDC Business Advisors to share and exchange useful tools/documents. The first phase of the Document Exchange, 'En Espanol' takes into consideration the growing need for Spanish language materials for the Hispanic small business owner. http://sbdcnet.org/docx/espanol.php. Types of materials included are sample business plans, checklists, marketing tools, all in Spanish. If you would like to contribute any documents to this effort please e-mail sbdcnet@utsa.edu. Thanks to all the Business Advisors who have kindly contributed so far!

The second phase of the Document Exchange is the 'SBDC Business Advisors Toolkit': a broad collection of counselor-developed tools including spreadsheets, diagnostic checklists, forms, brochures and articles for use by a SBDC Business advisor either to give to clients for information, or to assist them in their consulting. We are currently in the process of collecting these counselor-developed tools. If you have any tools you would like to share e-mail them to sbdcnet@utsa.edu as Word, Excel or PowerPoint attachments. The 'SBDC Business Advisors' Toolkit' is underway at http://sbdcnet.org/docx/.

Thanks for your support!
