Emerging Entrepreneurs
Emerging Entrepreneurs is Hispanic Unity’s Small Business program. Hispanic Unity recognized more than a dozen years ago the need for entrepreneurship education and support for many who are looking to start or reinvent their current businesses. To this end, Hispanic Unity redesigned the program years ago and partnered with the experts of Broward SCORE to provide a comprehensive program based on Broward SCORE’s 5 Simple Steps model for starting and running a successful business.
