Who We Serve
The Louisiana MBDA Business Center (Center) offers a unique approach tailored specifically for established small businesses, distinct from traditional incubators or accelerators. While incubators typically provide office space and access to experts, and accelerators primarily work with startups, our focus is on existing businesses already generating around $500,000 or more in annual revenue. These businesses are seeking strategic pathways to expand their operations and enhance their capacity. Our specialized services cater to U.S. companies that are socially or economically disadvantaged, aiming to empower them through various avenues. We specialize in facilitating domestic public and/or private contracts, financing transactions, and ultimately fostering job creation for our clients. Partnering with us opens doors to opportunities for growth and sustainability, providing essential resources and guidance tailored to the unique needs of small business owners like you.
