The SEB Program allows participants to continue to receive their Employment Insurance Benefits while they are getting their business up and running. Individuals qualifying for this program receive income support and business counselling (group training sessions as well as one-on-one business counselling) following their acceptance into the program.

Income support is usually in the form of bi-weekly payments from the employment insurance program. For many of our rural communities it has been a catalyst for entrepreneurship and small business development. Program components could vary among delivery agents. Contact the nearest CBDC for more information or visit the SEB Program web site.
