According to the latest figures from the New York City Planning Commission, Hispanic-owned and operated business in New York City have increased by sixty percent since the beginning of this decade. While the word Hispanic is a catch-all word, Hispanics are as diverse as the many Nations they come from and the products and services they require can often be as different as a Mexican enchilada is from a Puerto Rican pastel.

This wide diversity also extends to the difference in size of the various Hispanic businesses as well as the experience and know-how of the many entrepreneurs. Access to government contracts, marketing strategies, liability and health insurance are but a few of the many benefits that the New York City Hispanic Chamber of Commerce can make available to its members.
