BACKGROUND

 

MBDA recognizes the challenges facing minority businesses today in accessing capital for their business operations, expansion, and acquisition efforts. The Capital Access Forum is designed to bring financial institutions such as banks, capital investment companies, angel investors, and government agencies, to meet with qualified minority business enterprises to explore potential deals.  

Invited MBEs are expected to provide a one page summary of their companies ahead of the meeting. Each MBE will be given 7-10 minutes to present the company and its financial needs.
