New Report Alert! How to Blaze Paths to Equitable Small Business Recovery
A new playbook from LISC and Next City, Equitable Pathways to Small Business Recovery: An All-Hands Approach, offers a framework for paving equitable pathways to small business success, and lays out concrete strategies for supporting capital access, small business capacity, and commercial real estate with specific emphasis for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) -led or -owned small businesses.
This playbook "documents promising strategies employed by state and local government – importantly, in partnership with many different stakeholders, from organizations that provide small business development services, to CDFIs, to local and ethnic chambers of commerce representing BIPOC entrepreneurs themselves," share two of the report's authors.
