Available Concessions, Incentives and Support Programs for MSMEs

In its continued program of support to its Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise members and those in the wider Business Community, the St. Lucia Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the Ministry of Commerce to bring some vital information to that sector that if applied will enhance the operations of the MSMEs.

This e-seminar, will share critical information on the plethora of concessions, incentives, and other support programs available to MSMEs in St. Lucia. Often, members of the business community are not aware of the support that is available to them in terms of incentives and concessions. Often, they lament that this type of support is available for only a select few. As the saying goes “ignorance of the law is no excuse”. Thus, along with the Ministry of Commerce, the Chamber will present in one fell swoop the variety of support programs available to MSMEs on island. 

Invest St. Lucia will also share how they can and do support local MSMEs, while Bank of Saint Lucia will share insights on its “Eastern Caribbean Partial Credit Guarantee Corporation” partnership facility which can be of immense benefit to MSMEs looking to expand their operations. The facility provides MSMEs with access to credit by way of a partially guaranteed loan facility. This e-seminar will be filled with larger quantities of information that will leave the MSME sector in amazement as to how they have not accessed these programs before. Presenters from the Ministry will detail what is available and how firms can apply.
