Business Consortium Fund, Inc.

The Business Consortium Fund, Inc. (BCF) was founded in 1987 to provide access to working capital funds for the National Minority Supplier Development Council's certified minority suppliers. The BCF addresses two critical factors that limit the effectiveness of the NMSDC's principal mission of increasing the volume that member corporations purchase from minority suppliers. Those limiting factors are: the difficulty experienced by minority-owned firms in obtaining capital through traditional lending sources, and the inability to secure funds at a reasonable rate of interest, making payments burdensome. These limitations inhibit a firm's ability to take advantage of the demand for goods and services.

The BCF give NMSDC Corporate Members the opportunity to assist their minority suppliers/vendors with a source of working capital, to fulfill current contracts. BCF also benefits the minority community by stimulating local economic and industrial development and strengthening the social and economic fabric of our nation. For more information contact:
