St. Vincent & The Grenadines Youth Business Trust

Youth Business St Vincent and the Grenadines is your local YBC member. Youth Business St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a non-profit organization that was established in 2012 to address the level of poverty, unemployment and underemployment among youth in country.

The organization offers business loans, in addition to business planning help, mentoring, and accounting and money management advice. It targets youth who otherwise would not be able to acquire a loan or access funding due to their personal circumstances, social status or lack of collateral.

YBSVG assists disadvantaged youth, including former convicted criminals, youth who live in abject poverty, those living with a physically disability, and many who could not complete schooling. Each loan issued by YBSVG is intended to help entrepreneurs start their businesses. A low interest rate of 7-12% and loan duration of up to 5 years make the organization’s loans accessible and flexible.
