SBA Massachusetts Minority-Owned Small Business of the Year Award 

BOSTON – Ace Medical Services, Inc. has been named the winner of the 2015 Massachusetts Minority-Owned Small Business of the Year award according to an announcement by Robert Nelson, Massachusetts SBA District Director.

“I am very honored that the SBA will recognize Michael and Raphael with this significant award” said Robert Nelson.   “Their hard work and dedication truly is exemplary and all of us at the SBA applaud the Ace Medical team and leadership for never giving up and for the impacts they have made in the community they serve.  The accomplishments are outstanding!”

Michael Chege and Raphael Bibiu are perfect examples of the American Dream. Both immigrated to the United States from Kenya with all their belongings in one suitcase. They worked as CNAs (certified nursing assistant) in the health care industry while going back to college to improve themselves and gain experience. In 2007, they decided to start their own Home Health Care Company to do God’s work – providing medical and home services to the elderly, sick and underserved minority groups.

Starting out in a small one room office at the Martin Luther King Empowerment Center in Worcester, they developed their vision and mission for the company – often wrestling with doubt, thinking about giving up and declaring bankruptcy. In July of 2009, the team started utilizing free counseling services from Massachusetts Small Business Development Center (MSBDC) at Clark University, who assisted them in putting together and implementing a sound business plan to generate growth.  Later that year after repeatedly being turned down by multiple banks, help in the form of a $150,000 SBA 7A loan was approved by Commerce Bank.  This infusion of capital helped the young startup company persevere through a phase when total revenue was approximately $500,000 with a net income of $53,000.  Today, Ace Medical Services is a $3.6 million company that employs 120 people in the area.

The Minority-Owned Small Business of the Year award is presented annually to a growing business, with three years of success in sales and profits, increased jobs, an innovative product, and demonstrated potential.

The company was nominated for this award by John Rainey, Regional Director with Massachusetts Small Business Development Center, Central Regional Office.

Michael Chege and Raphael Bibiu will be honored at an SBA awards lunch along with the other 2015 Massachusetts Small Business Week winners at the Sheraton Framingham on May 4, 2015.
