By Gregory Snyder


In order for the economy of any country to grow and flourish, a large percent of their population needs to be working. This will mean either getting employed or starting your own establishment. For some people, this may be hard especially if they do not have the capital required to set up. This in turn leads to partnerships like those in a small disadvantaged business.

This kind of establishment is defined as one where fifty one percent of the stock, is owned by just one or even more persons who are economically and socially disadvantaged. In most cases, the people in the socially disadvantaged category, are any group of people who might have been subjected to ethical or racial bias in the past. The economically disadvantaged groups are those whose lack of access to financial services, which hinders their maximum ability to have a healthy competition in the business when compared to those who do not face this social disadvantage.
