Hispanic-owned businesses are the fastest growing businesses in the United States with Hispanic women entrepreneurs establishing businesses faster than any other group in the country. The Ohio Hispanic population of 217,000 reflects a growth of over 55% since 1990. During the same period, Ohio Hispanic businesses have grown 30% for a total of 6500 with a revenue of 1.5 billion dollars. This dramatic popluation increase is expected to continue and will result in a surge of Hispanic purchasing power. When conbined with 85% brand loyalty od Hispanics, this represents tremendous potential revenue for companies which market to the Hispanic community.
