Basseterre, St. Kitts (WINN): Deputy Prime Minister Sam Condor says the greatest challenge facing micro and small business owners is 'money.'
Minister Condor speaking to WINN FM during a recent community business meeting said while he praised agencies like NEDD (The National Entreprenuerial Development Division) which assists small business, there were facing the bigger problem of securing financing.
Minister Condor acknowledged that more needed to be done to help the micro and small business owner. He said that existing concessions were developed with larger businesses in mind, and suggested that there needed to be a change in mind-set about entrepreneurship particularly in the current economic climate.
