MBDA Business Center Program
Federal-funded centers providing one-on-one consulting, capital access, and contract matching to minority-owned businesses.
About this program
The Minority Business Development Agency funds a national network of Business Centers that provide direct services to minority business enterprises, including business consulting, access to capital and credit, procurement opportunities, and contract matching. MBDA does not give cash grants to individual businesses; instead, its grants fund the centers that serve them. The centers operate in over 40 markets nationwide and are the front door to MBDA services for minority entrepreneurs.
Eligibility
Minority-owned businesses (African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American, Pacific Islander, Hasidic Jewish, and Asian Indian-owned) seeking consulting, capital, and contract opportunities.
