Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I go if I am not located in Los Angeles County or Ventura County?

There are two other MBEC’s in California to service minority businesses outside of Los Angeles County and Ventura County:

  • Inland Empire MBEC servicing the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange County, located at 4053 Chestnut Street, Riverside, CA, 92501, Telephone number (323) 343-9477.
  • Central/Northern California MBEC, servicing the areas of Central and Northern California, located at 300 Frank Ogawa Bldg., Suite 210, Oakland, CA, 94612.

In special circumstances, and on a case-by-case basis, the MBEC may be able to request approval from the MBDA to assist an otherwise eligible firm that is located outside of the Los Angeles Metro MBEC's target area.
