The Importance of Immigrant Entrepreneurship in the US

An average of 1.5 million new jobs are created in the US each year by companies that have been in existence for less than five years. In 2019, there were 3.2 million immigrant entrepreneurs in the US. In 2017, there were 8.0 million people employed by immigrant-owned businesses with $1.3 trillion in sales. Between 1996 and 2011 US businesses founded by immigrants grew by 50%. Are you a foreign national (non-US citizen/LPR) who wants to own and operate a business or conduct trade in the US? Is 2024 your year to make the leap? If so, or if you just have questions, contact Lawsorio Consulting at [email protected] and schedule a free consultation.
