Abstract: | This research contributes to a greater understanding of minority ethnic business (MEB) needs and practices and helps identify
the support needs of minority ethnic firms in relation to existing support provision. The aims are, therefore, to examine
the take-up of support by minority ethnic enterprises focusing mainly on the South Asian community with some representation
from the African-Caribbean and Korean communities. Fifty minority ethnic businesses across South West London were contacted
and semi-structured interviews took place with the owner/owner managers. The findings suggest that policy makers need to appreciate
the diversity of MEBs and policies aimed at these businesses should reflect that diversity. |
