Applicants also take a short online assessment of their entrepreneurial inclinations/capacities by clicking on the following weblink (https://www.bdc.ca/en/articles-tools/entrepreneur-toolkit/business-assessments/pages/self-assessment-test-your-entrepreneurial-potential.aspx). An applicant’s scores help us understand how suited they’ll be for business start-up and ownership. After completing the assessment applicants should email me their scores. (Note: There is no need to provide contact information on the assessment website unless one wants to receive solicitation from that entity.)
Our linked promo video helps highlight why we assist county residents to start, stabilize, and/or expand micro-businesses (five or fewer employees). Our IDA match saving grant helps income and asset eligible participants fund either their micro-enterprise or a certificate or degree yielding, accredited post-secondary education. Since 2007 hundreds have benefitted from our IDA grant opportunity and/or BBE training, formerly known as Basic Business Empowerment. We now contract BBE facilitation from the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) which will offer free business counselling for years to come.
