The Micro Business Development Program provides technical assistance and training to low to moderate income Vermonters who own or intend to start a small business. We provide free one-on-one business counseling for our clients. Business development counseling involves issues related to getting started, creating a business plan, creating marketing plans and finding funding. In recent years, MBDP has expanded its services to include personal financial classes and asset development strategies for all low-moderate income Vermonters, while still providing small businesses counseling and services.
