The HNBA/MassMutual Su Negocio Program:
Assisting Latino Small Business Owners
- Have you recently started your own business?
- Do you want to expand your business?
MassMutual and the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) are excited to bring to your community the HNBA/MassMutual Su Negocio Program, designed to assist and empower Latino-owned small businesses. This great program also benefits small and medium-size law firms and solo practitioners. Recent data indicates that Latino-owned small businesses are the fastest growing segment of small businesses in the country. The HNBA and MassMutual stand ready to help these businesses succeed. Through motivation, education and networking, the mission of “Su Negocio” is to provide Latinos with access to resources to either start or expand a commercial enterprise or small law practice, and help protect their businesses for a successful future. The event will feature a prominent keynote speaker, educational workshops for both start-up and growth businesses, and networking and mentorship opportunities.
