About Us

The MBEC™ at Community Capital Development is operated by the Seattle Business Assistance Center. We are a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) community and economic development organization. The MBEC™ at CCD is funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Minority Business Development Agency.

The Seattle Business Assistance Center has a variety of programs that provide business assistance:

• The Women's Business Center (WBC) helps women business owners succeed in all Washington counties, except those already served by the Northwest Washington Women's Business Center (NWWBC).
• The Northwest Washington Women’s Business Center (NWWBC) helps women business owners succeed in Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island, San Juan and Kitsap counties.
• The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) primarily serves existing businesses seeking to improve profitability and growth.
• The King County branch of the Washington State Procurement Technical Assistance Center is designed to assist businesses with any aspect of federal, state, and local government contracting.

Community Capital Development (CCD) is comprised of the Seattle Business Assistance Center and its sister nonprofit, the Seattle Economic Development Fund. The Seattle Economic Development Fund provides small business loans to entrepreneurs who are not yet bankable.

CCD’s mission is to create, sustain, and grow entrepreneurial opportunities and liveable-wage jobs in Seattle and the state of Washington, focusing on disadvantaged populations (low-income individuals, women, and minorities) that that have historically experienced difficulties in accessing business financing and economic development services.

Community Capital Development does not provide grants.
