Welcome!
The Eastern Shore Entrepreneurship Center/Business Development Fund is a collaborative effort operating under the umbrella of the Mid-Shore Regional Council (MSRC) to encourage and stimulate small and mid-size business growth in Caroline, Dorchester, and Talbot counties. Guided by venture capitalist consultants and top level business leaders from the community, the MSRC has established a revolving loan fund called the Mid-Shore Business Development Fund (MBDF) that provides equity financing to business start-up and expansion initiatives. For more information read our bylaws (pdf).
