About

Latino Small Business Program

Provides one-on-one technical assistance and free consultation for Latino entrepreneurs or current business owners on business plan development, marketing plan development and support, references and resources, networking and support in complying with legal and financial requirements for small businesses.

The program also offers education and continuous training programs in their own language on Marketing, Financing and Accounting, Taxes, Food Safety, Computer Basics and more.

Extension Hall County started “Coffee Tables” meetings once a month for an hour so Latino Small Business owners can network, mentor, sharing successes, get to know colleagues, and generate opportunities or only meet and greet.

Bilingual Educators have the full support and resources of the University of Nebraska and connections with other agencies and organizations.
