SEB – Kings County Self-Employment Benefits program

The Self-Employment Benefits (SEB) program provides income, counseling, technical and professional development assistance to all eligible residents interested in starting their own business. The program is funded through the Government of Canada via Service Canada.

Applicants must contact their local Service Canada office or an external case manager in their area for a needs assessment and eligibility determination. If successful, the eligibility will be provided to CBDC Hants-Kings and an orientation session completed.

For more information on the SEB Program, contact your local Community Business Development Corporation at 679-6215 or visit their website at www.hantskingsbdc.ca
