The DEBCC is here to serve the needs of minority-owned businesses and provide economic opportunity and support to them as well as the communities they serve. We strive to leave our footprint in the sand of Delaware’s business landscape and forge a path that leads to a steady flow of resources beneficial to our business members through relationships, partnerships and apprenticeships.
Our purpose is to strengthen our role as a vital hub for connecting minority business owners and entrepreneurs with the resources needed to assist them in growing their enterprise and creating new economic opportunities and job growth all throughout the First State.
We are more than a business as usual membership organization. We are the best friend and partner of our members, working exclusively on their behalf and providing the assistance and support they need. We strive to build productive relationships and make a positive impact in the community with all our members.
Our mission is to support the initiatives of minority business owners and foster an enterprise that focuses on success and viability. We endeavor to create awareness and visibility of our efforts at local, state, and federal levels through lobbying and advocacy. We strive to provide access to education and training that keeps minority business owners in step with the ever-changing requirements of Delaware’s economic playing field.
