Resources to offer micro-entrepreneursLoftis, Amy M. 20 November 2013 (has links)
The paper evaluates the support needs of minority small business owners in Austin,
Texas, based on a review of literature on support programs available around the country
and primary research on the needs of local entrepreneurs. Research included a focus
group with local small business owners served by BiGAUSTIN, a nonprofit business
support organization, and a survey of 1900 business owners served by the organization in
the past. Information was collected on the demographics and economic characteristics of
159 local firms, as well as on their interest in particular types of business training or
support services. Based on survey findings, the paper concludes with recommendations
for how Central Texas organizations can augment their programs to better assist small
businesses in growth and development. / text
