Cadence Willis, Vice President of Sage Foundation, said: “The barriers in the report are obstacles to both inclusive business and economic growth. The silver lining is that the solutions are interconnected -- as an example, linking entrepreneurs with mentors also increases their access to funding. Businesses and government must unite to empower underserved entrepreneurs through digital training, mentorship, and financial resources.”

Key Points: 
  • The Underserved Entrepreneurs Research report aims to understand the experiences of founders within these communities, who have historically faced inequities in accessing credit, capital, and other resources needed to thrive.
  • Migrant entrepreneurs often don’t have credit scores and collateral, meaning they struggle with access to capital, training and skills.
  • The report is based on aggregated insights from over 40 publications by academics, social scientists, think tanks and non-profit organisations.
