Welcome

Welcome to the South Carolina Minority Business Enterprise Center (SCMBEC). We are a part of a national network that was established to increase the growth of new minority-owned business and strengthen existing ones, and making them more profitable, as well as creating new jobs for South Carolina.

Our professional consultants offer a wide range of services that include initial counseling, government/private sector contracting assistance, financial management and more complex issues such as international trade franchising. The SCMBEC, as with other centers across the United States, is funded by the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce. For more information on the MBDA please click on the ‘MBDA History’ tab, or visit their website directly at www.mbda.gov.

The SCMBEC is directed by DESA, Inc., a South Carolina based management firm.
