Maryland has a vibrant immigrant community that contributes significantly to the local economy. However, many immigrant entrepreneurs face challenges including limited access to financial resources and lack of familiarity with business practices in the United States. With over 15% of Maryland's population being foreign-born, addressing the economic disparities they encounter is critical for fostering equitable economic growth.
