Black-owned businesses — particularly those owned by men — are significantly underrepresented compared with their population shares

Data from the Canadian Survey of Business Conditions (Q4 2023) show that Black-owned businesses represent only 2.3% of all private sector enterprises, which is 2.0% lower than the share of Black population (4.3%), resulting in approximately 20,000 “missing” businesses.
