The 2015 data shows majority ownership by which group within minority-owned businesses?

• A. Asian Americans
• B. African Americans
• C. Hispanic Americans
• D. Native Americans

Answer: (A)

Ownership distribution among minority-owned businesses shows that Asian American entrepreneurs represent the largest share of firms. In 2015, Asian Americans owned the majority of minority-owned businesses, more than African American, Hispanic, or Native American owners. This reflects higher rates of business formation and firm counts within the Asian American community during that period, aided by strong immigrant networks and access to startup capital in many cases. So, Asian Americans are the group with the majority ownership within minority-owned businesses in that year. The other groups have notable representation but not the majority in that dataset.
