The Minority Business Development Agency funds Business Development Centers around the country to assist with the start-up, expansion and development of minority-owned firms. Minority Business Enterprise Centers (MBECs), Native American Business Enterprise Centers (NABECs), and Business Resource Centers (BRCs) provide individualized management and technical assistance to minority entrepreneurs at every stage of business development. Minority Business Opportunity Committees (MBOCs) coordinate Federal, state and local business resources. They are designed to identify business opportunities and leverage existing programs to increase market access for minority-owned firms.
