In short
The Centre for Enterprise Development provides business-plan writing and business development support in St Vincent and the Grenadines. Its site says consultation has no cost, while plan writing and some other services may carry a fee.
The Bank of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines tells small-business applicants to have a business plan drawn up. Ask the Bank for its current financing checklist and terms. Elsewhere in the OECS, public or subsidised bodies also provide enterprise training, technical assistance or plan support, with conditions set by each institution.
Where to start
- CED in St Vincent. Ask what level of plan, proposal or financial-statement help your case needs and request the current fee before work starts.
- Your lender. Get its current application and plan checklist before paying for preparation.
- Registration and records. Bring registration, sales and expense records, bank statements and evidence for the amount requested.
- Project quotations. Tie each requested item to a current supplier quotation and show how it affects sales, costs and cash.
What to confirm before you commit
CED says consultations are free and some services carry a small fee, but it does not publish the amount. No St Vincent-based private provider, local chamber or Invest SVG publishes a plan-preparation price or fee schedule.
Ask CED what fee applies to you, and confirm the turnaround and eligibility rules with CED and your chosen lender. Support offered elsewhere in the OECS does not set St Vincent's rules.
