Minority Business Development Institute - MBDI

a wide range of topics designed to strengthen each firm’s operating infrastructure, management and bonding readiness. Classes have a strong emphasis on achieving financial literacy and operational stability and include intensive QuickBooks training and financial accounting for contractors.

• One-on-one Advisory Services
Personalized, one-on-one advisory services help integrate the subjects offered concurrently in the classroom and lead to meaningful application of the material.

• Bonding Readiness Services
MBDI utilizes an assessment and monitoring system to periodically assess each participant’s level of “bond-ability” and provide a road map of action steps toward successful bonding.

• Capital Access Bond Fund

Key to a contractor’s success is access to external sources of working capital and collateral. A Capital Access Fund would help to address the issue of inadequate capitalization that has posed a longstanding barrier to minority contractor growth.
