The Minority Business Enterprise Center (MBEC) is committed to accelerating the growth and development of minority-owned enterprises all over the state of Pennsylvania. The MBEC does so by providing a number of services to our minority business enterprise (MBE) clients.
The three main services we provide are Consulting, Contract Procurement, and Access to Capital.
We provide our clients access to high-end consulting in areas ranging from strategic planning to marketing, accounting, sales training, and human resources management.
We help clients do business with the Federal Government (which buys over $250 Billion worth of services annually) by leveraging our strategic link as part of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
We work hand-in-hand with our clients to obtain financing through partnerships with lending institutions statewide, and in some cases can provided funding ourselves. We have also explored a number of alternative financing sources for promising firms who have trouble getting a loan through traditional means.
Our mission is to accelerate the growth of minority enterprises through high end consulting, contract procurement, and access to financing services. Our goal is to have a significant impact on Pennsylvania's economy through the creation of jobs and taxable wealth.
The Pennsylvania Minority Business Enterprise Center is a federally funded program under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), the only federal entity specifically tasked with accelerating the growth of minority owned businesses.
