Exploring Challenges and Opportunities of Underserved Businesses in the 21st Century
Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access (Committee on Small Business)

Washington, D.C.
Diverse and women-owned businesses are among the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. economy. However, these businesses have historically faced significant obstacles in starting a business and accessing affordable capital and procurement opportunities. Regrettably, this remains true despite increased social awareness of the challenges faced by women, minorities, veterans, and rural entrepreneurs. This hearing will explore the challenges faced by these traditionally underserved businesses, and what role Congress can play to optimize their success.
