SCORE is dedicated to helping AANHPI entrepreneurs achieve their business goals.
Asian-American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) own one in 10 American businesses. Highly reliant on self and community, their work ethic produces the highest average small business receipts of any ethnic group. Despite these achievements, AANHPI entrepreneurs face racial discrimination and harassment that challenges their success and interferes with hiring employees, attracting customers, and accessing financing.
For more than 50 years, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has celebrated National Small Business Week, which recognizes the hard work, ingenuity, and dedication of America’s small businesses, and celebrates their contributions to the economy. This year, National Small Business Week is being held the week of April 30 - May 6. NSBW is co-hosted by SCORE, mentors to America's small businesses and a resource partner of SBA.
