The US Small Business Association has launched a new version of its web site for Spanish speakers.

The site is intended to offer a business tool for starting and developing a business in the Spanish language. On the web site will be details on how to write a business plan, starting a business, financing a business, technical assistance, accessing government contracts, signage and information for women entrepreneurs.

The US SBA reportedly launched the site in response to figures from a Spanish ISP claiming that 78% of all 35m Hispanic individuals in the US have access to the Internet.

The web site can be accessed at http://www.sba.gov/espanol.
