(HBDI), Allegiance Bank and SCORE have forged a partnership to meet the ever-increasing need of small and minority owned businesses to access capital by creating a Business Information Center, (BIC). The BIC will have a vital economic impact in the Southeast quadrant of Houston by fostering the development and growth of small businesses, resulting in expanded commerce and job creation.
“By opening a community lending office in the Palm Center area, a predominately African American and Hispanic community, Allegiance Bank hopes to increase its small lending production while making a direct investment in the community” states Marlon Mitchell President and CEO at Houston Business Development, Inc.
