The BCF is a non-profit business development organization and is affiliated with the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). Solera National Bank is currently the only bank in the state of Colorado acting in this capacity on behalf of the BCF. Solera works closely with the Rocky Mountain Minority Supplier Development Council (RMMSDC), the NMSDC regional affiliate located in Denver, Colorado.
The financing program was completed for the benefit of CADDO Design, Inc. dba CADDO Solutions (CADDO) to provide a combination of term and revolving working capital financing to support its existing needs as well as to provide for its future growth plans. In addition to the working capital financing, Solera is providing for the complete cash management and merchant banking needs of CADDO. CADDO is a 100% Native American-owned and managed national company headquartered in Denver, Colorado that specializes in workplace ergonomics, office products and printing services. CADDO has been a certified small business of RMMSDC for sixteen years.
The NMSDC was chartered in 1972 to provide increased procurement and business opportunities for Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American-owned businesses of all sizes. It is one of the nation's leading non-profit business membership organizations and serves as a direct link between corporate America and minority-owned businesses. The NMSDC network includes a national office in New York City and 39 regional councils across the country. There are 3,500 corporate members in the network, including America's top publicly-owned, privately-owned and foreign-owned companies as well as universities, hospitals and other buying institutions. The regional councils certify and match more than 15,000 minority owned businesses with member corporations for the purchase of goods and services.
The BCF was founded in 1987 and provides access to working capital through its LGPP for the NMSDC's certified minority-owned suppliers. BCF benefits the minority community by facilitating the growth and development of NMSDC certified minority-owned firms.
Don Kelin, President and CEO of CADDO stated, "I am excited that this partnership will allow CADDO to continue its phenomenal growth in the office products arena with Corporate America, Indian Nations and the Federal Government. In the midst of the national banking crisis, Solera stepped up with a creative banking package that will allow CADDO the opportunity to gain market share as we compete against the big boxes in our industry. With Solera National Bank as a partner we will be a competitive force in the marketplace."
Mark J. Martinez, Regional President and Senior Lending Officer of Solera National Bank commented, "We are very pleased to have successfully completed a major financing package for a certified minority vendor of the RMMSDC. This financing will be a critical resource to CADDO as it looks to achieve its future growth objectives. It is the stated mission of Solera to provide financing to minority-owned firms in Colorado."
