Helping Minority Business Enterprises Grow and Prosper

WELCOME. The National Capital Area (NCA) Minority Business Development Center (MBOC) is operated by Performance-based Solutions, Inc. and funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). The purpose of the MBOC is to assist high growth Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) located in the Washington area to identify and obtain financing and business opportunities.

The MBOC Advisory Committee is made up of dedicated community leaders and advocates representing government, financial institutions, corporations and trade groups who have made a commitment to advise and assist the MBOC in carrying out our mission. The MBOC also leverages the resources of business and economic development centers, financial institutions, and chambers of commerce with which we have entered into strategic partnerships. Through these partnerships, advisors and local advocacy groups, we work both with buyers and sellers, financiers and borrowers, to ensure that the Washington region benefits from the talents and capabilities of our high growth MBEs.

Defining a Winning Formula

Defining a winning strategy is directly related to a Minority Business Enterprise’s ability to build on and promote its strengths, make the most efficient use of its available time and resources, and put its customer’s needs and requirements as its first priority. This winning strategy is defined by:

• Deploying high quality resources (both human and capital),
• Using quality control standards as the benchmark for achieving a high level of customer satisfaction,
• Realizing measurable operating efficiency, and
• Maintaining a strong sense of sustain-able competitive advantage.

By following this winning strategy and maintaining quality performance as standard operating procedure, MBEs can grow and thrive in today's competitive market.
