Business start up grants

Marama H A made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development

The request was refused by Ministry of Social Development.

From: Marama H A

Dear Ministry of Social Development,
I would like to know if you have business start up grants for those who are on the unemployment benefit. We have applied to various lending institutions without success because they see a failure to repay any loans made by them. I have been advised by MSD that if we may apply for a grant if we have been turned down from lenders.

Yours faithfully,

M N Anderson
