Bank of America Small Business Report 2023
For the past two years, Bank of America has released two small business reports: Women & Minority Business Owner Spotlight & Small Business Owner Report.
According to the reports, economic factors such as inflation, commodities pricing, and interest rates continue to be a concern going into 2024 for small business owners. In addition, limited access to capital for minority business owners continues to persist. For women business owners, only 51% believe they have equal access to capital.
As a result, the City of Jurupa Valley will continue to work with all of our businesses to ensure equal access to capital and support their business endeavors.
For all business related needs, please email the City’s Economic Development Specialist at davalos@jurupavalley.org
