Self Employment Benefits (SEB)
The general idea is that, if you have a current EI Claim, you may
be permitted to continue drawing EI Benefits while you are
working on establishing a business & if your claim is low you
may be eligible for an additional top-up from the program. If you do not have a claim, & you are approved you will receive a SEB Benefit payment for the life of the contract.
A typical contract will be for one year at a rate of $468.00 per week, (depending upon your EI benefit rate/status).
Getting access to this program involves taking several steps:
Step 1: Bring your business idea to one of the counsellors at the EAS Office.
Step 2: Receive an orientation session covering the overall SEB Program.
Step 3: Receive assistance with preparing the initial documentation.
Step 4: You will then be referred to the CBDC - South Coast to begin the detailed
business concept evaluation & development process.After referral to the CBDC - South Coast, they will:
* Evaluate your general Business Concept
* Assist in refining of your Business Concept
* Provide support in the development of your Business Plan
* Provide ongoing Coaching/Mentoring
* Provide technical Advice (accounting, marketing, etc..)
* Assist with completing the application for funding under the SEB Program
* Assist with the process of securing financial support (e.g.; business loans)
There may be some variation in the actual steps involved but the above is a good overall breakdown. For additional information, please contact out office.
Starting your own business could be the key to your success.
If you have an idea that you think can become a successful business, then maybe
the SEB Program would be right for you.
