Latino Economic Development Center

 LEDC's services begin with clear communication to develop a close relationship with and create a custom approach for each aspiring entrepreneur. LEDC helps both aspiring and established business owners to create a road map that will illustrate how to transform vague business ideas into specific action items that will help to build a strong foundation for your business. All our services are provided in Spanish and with the appropriate cultural context.

In addition, The Latino Economic Development Center helps Latino entrepreneurs and small businesses in Minnesota to launch and grow through classes, workshops, one-on-one assistance, agricultural assistance services, a kitchen incubator, and loans as a Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI). LEDC manages a lending portfolio that offers resources to qualified entrepreneurs. Our goal is to support entrepreneurs and help to create sustainable businesses and generational wealth.
