Small Business Development Centers (SBDC)

SBDC Program

The Caribbean Small Business Development Centers Program is designed to strengthen the institutional frameworks of national MSME support programs through the adaptation of the United States Small Business Development Centers (US SBDC) Model. Launched in January 2012 with the financial support of the Permanent Mission of the United States to the OAS, the program has assisted five countries- Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Jamaica and Saint Lucia- to establish SBDCs.
