Micro Business Development Program

 Have you ever......

Pictured yourself as a small business owner?
Dreamed that an idea you have could work if you had some help in getting started?
Do you already have a hobby, or a small home-based business, from which you feel you could make a decent wage, if only you had the support to expand?
If so, the Micro Business Development Group (MBDG) program may be for you. The MBDG program provides small loans (from $500.00 to $10000.00) and other business development services for individuals who would like to start or expand a home-based business or any other micro-enterprise. Services include business counselling, training and business network development as will be determined by the needs of the group.  These services are delivered through client participation in peer support groups.

The MBDG program currently has a group formed with 6 individuals who are eagerly pursuing their business initiatives.  They are currently recruiting for a second group. They welcome all individuals in the Exploits Valley who would like additional information about the program to contact Program Facilitator, Diane Coish by calling 489 8700 or email microbusiness@exploitsvalley.nf.ca  This is a fantastic program that is provided free of charge to interested individuals who would like to pursue their business dreams.
