The COVID-19 pandemic and recent civil unrest in America have dealt crippling blows to many small and medium-sized businesses, with minority communities bearing a disproportionate share of the impact. AABDC is conducting a survey to identify the needs and challenges faced by small businesses. Having detailed information about your business needs will help the One Hundred Black Men, Hispanic Federation, and Asian American Business Development Center seek funding for businesses... in minority communities that are struggling to stay afloat. We cordially invite you to fill out this COVID-19 Small/Medium Business Impact Survey if you’re interested in sharing your experience through brief choice questions. Here is the link to the survey: https://lnkd.in/erPuxV8

AABDC, together with One Hundred Black Men and the Hispanic Federation, was selected by Hennessy to assess applications and disburse grants to support small businesses in their respective communities. Out of over 1,000 Asian American applications, about 300 Asian American businesses qualified to receive grants. The AABDC surveyed Asian American small business grant applicants and discovered the following: - New York, California, Texas and Pennsylvania accounted for the m...ajority of the applicants - More than half 65% -- were corporations versus limited liability corporations or partnerships - Biggest industry representation from the retail (22%), restaurant (17%), beauty salons (10%), nail salons (9%) - Ethnically, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean and Indians were the largest representations - 62% have fewer than 5 employees, and 78% have less than $1 million in annual sales Underscoring the critical need of the funding, the top three reasons that applicants cited for needing the funding were: payroll, rent and operating expenses.
