Why is Financial Literacy Important For Small Businesses?
(Based on Stats)
Hostinger reports that many people dream of starting a small business to be their own boss, pursue a passion, or create a flexible work schedule. However, the same report also highlights that around 20% of small businesses fail in their first year, and 50% don't make it past five years. Lack of financial literacy can be a major contributor to these failures.
At Avance Latino, we believe financial literacy is key to entrepreneurial success. That's why we provide our community with the tools and resources they need to make informed decisions and navigate the challenges of small business ownership. We empower our community to turn their dreams into reality by equipping them with the financial knowledge to increase their chances of success.
