Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month & the Power of Latino Entrepreneurship!

Did you know Hispanic and Latino Ohioans contributed $31.3 BILLION to Ohio's economy in 2023?

According to the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission's 2026 report:

💼 32,000+ Hispanic/Latino-owned businesses operate across Ohio.

📈 7.6% average annual growth in Ohio's Latino GDP from 2018–2023.

💰 11.9% of Ohio's economic growth during that period was driven by Hispanic/Latino Ohioans.

At SCMBA and MBAC, we're proud to celebrate the entrepreneurs driving economic growth, creating opportunities, and strengthening our communities. We remain committed to supporting their continued success!
