The Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC) has extended its services to micro and small entrepreneurs’ islandwide through the establishment of Business Information Centres at several locations across the island. The establishment of these centres is a collaborative effort between JBDC and several professional and business organizations with funding provided by the European Union’s Private Sector Development Programme (PSDP).
The most recent openings took place in Kingston at the Small Business Association of Jamaica headquarters, Mandeville at the Morris Entrepreneurial Centre, a collaborative effort with the Northern Caribbean University and in Port Antonio.
In all, JBDC now provides well needed business, technical and financial services at approximately 10 locations. The suite of services include Loan & Grant application processing, website design, internet marketing and training, staff development, employment job bank, marketing and public relations services, business consultations and administrative services.
The Centres also caters to the needs of Jamaica’s disabled community, particularly the visually impaired with its recently introduced programme, Job Access with Speech (JAWS).
