Minnesota's Small Businesses

We understand that small businesses are vital to the local economy, with firms under 50 employees supporting over one million workers and paying $53.7 billion in annual wages. However, net job creation for small businesses has dropped significantly in recent years, falling from over 21,000 annually to fewer than 5,800 (MN Chamber, 2025). Consulting can help these firms navigate impact of rising costs, which 44% of small businesses cited as a significant burden compared to only 36% of larger corporations.

The Minnesota Latino Economy

In 2022, Latino-owned business made up 2% of all businesses in Minnesota but generated more than $2 billion in annual sales. "Taken together—workforce participation, business creation, household income, consumer spending, and real estate investment—the Latino economy represents well over $70 billion in connected economic activity in Minnesota" (Corrie, 2025).

More Than Bilingual

At Zalez Group, our expertise is built on more than just being bilingual. We grew up at the kitchen table of immigrant entrepreneurs, witnessing firsthand the grit it takes to build a business from nothing. Today, we combine that deep cultural understanding with modern strategy to help owners turn those daily struggles into success.
