About
Solutions for Entrepreneurs
Maryland Capital Enterprises, Inc. (MCE) was founded in 1998 with the assistance of the UMES Rural Development Center (RDC) who spearheaded the task force to develop a solution for the under-banked and under-served entrepreneurs of Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The RDC also provided startup funding for MCE, which was incorporated in March 1998. Maryland Capital Enterprises, Inc. obtained its 501(c)(3) status in November of that year. The first executive director was hired and program operations began in March 1999.
