As Latinos, we understand the barriers we face in the United States. The Latino community is one of the fastest growing, but is often overlooked. We encounter high illiteracy rates, language barriers and limited opportunities to connect with traditional sources of business financing and technical assistance providers.
These difficulties prevent us from reaching our full potential and building lasting success. That is why Conexión de Negocios Latinos (CNL) was born. We are committed to closing these gaps and empowering Latino entrepreneurs like us. We build strong networks, educate on best business practices and foster the growth of Latino businesses in Arkansas and the surrounding areas.
To provide leadership and networking opportunities while supporting businesses to succeed through resources, information and education, while promoting the rich and diverse Latino culture.

We help promote and present Latino businesses on social media, networking events, live videos, monthly meetings, newsletters and magazines, and more.
