Beyond the Business: Measuring the Financial Health of Entrepreneurs and Consumers
Presented by Citi
For decades, efforts to advance financial inclusion have focused on expanding access—especially for small businesses and underserved communities. But access alone doesn’t guarantee financial mobility. As funders, lenders and fintechs champion entrepreneurship as a wealth-building strategy, traditional metrics like loan repayment and business growth often overlook the personal financial health of the entrepreneur. Likewise, many consumer-focused strategies fail to account for the unique challenges faced by entrepreneurs, gig workers, and those navigating nontraditional income streams. In this session, hear from leaders using new tools to assess impact more holistically and learn how they’re helping ensure that businesses – and the people behind them – thrive.

We’ll also highlight opportunities for financial services, fintech, and policymakers to better support the evolving realities of multigenerational families.
