The purpose of the 2012 Hispanic Business Enterprise (HBE) Study is to provide insights into the challenges, strategies, needs and resources of these Arizona businesses. The Arizona Minority Business Center and Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce designed the study to be a resource for businesses, organizations, educators, government agencies and individuals who want to help Arizona HBEs succeed. A total of 380 telephone interviews were conducted with Arizona HBEs during August – October 2012. The businesses represent a range of industries, company sizes and locations throughout the state. Comparisons were made with the 2007 SRP Arizona Business Study - Focus on Minority-Owned Businesses1, when applicable.
The study addressed five different topic areas – Challenges, Strategies/Successes, Business Profiles, Owner Profiles, and The Future. The following are highlights from the study.
