Abstract
This report captures small business service providers’ views on the most salient challenges confronting Boston’s Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) small business owners and entrepreneurs, and their priorities for the future. The report draws on 30 in-depth survey interviews, conducted between November 2021 and February 2022, with leaders from the ecosystem of organizations that are focused on supporting the growth of BIPOC small businesses. The report also juxtaposes the viewpoints and priorities of Boston’s ecosystem against America’s mayors using findings from the national Menino Survey of Mayors.
