What are our services?
BAS offers a range of services which can be categorized under one of the two following umbrellas:

• Business Consultation
• Business Development

The Financial Services Unit (FSU) provides financial assistance to “unbanked” groups of micro and small businesses. The FSU represents the merging of financial and non-financial technical assistance. The assistance targets clients who have accessed business services (training, business assessments, etc.) through JBDC’s Islandwide network of business experts.
As a pre-requisite, only projects that have completed the appropriate business assessment and business plan development will be funded. Hand-holding services are also provided as a part of the loan package.

As Jamaican made products from the MSME sector enters the competitive world marketplace, the need to have products of a certain standard is very critical.
