             STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF OHIO SENATE BILL 105


10/26/2021


RE: Sub. S. B. No. 105

Dear Sen. Sykes, Sen Schuring and Assembly Members:

My name is Shafi Shafat and I am the President of Somali American Chamber of
Commerce, one of the largest minority-led chambers in Ohio with over 12000
business. We are facilitating strategic partnership and inspiring community
leadership. We are helping business and startups navigate the complexities of
starting and growing successful business within central Ohio with estimated
economic impact of $1.9 Billion.
.

I fully support Senate Bill 105, as this bill would harmonize and streamline business
opportunities for our members specifically, and equally for all minority owned
businesses in Ohio. In the light of devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
and its disproportionate negative impact on minority-owned business, this Bill will
give a tremendous boost to the recovery and thriving of minority-Owned business.

Again, I want to thank Honorable Sen. Sykes, Sen. Schuring and assembled members
for this opportunity to speak before and support Senate Bill 105.
Sincerely,

Shafi Shafat
3288 Morse road
Columbus Ohio 43231
