Business Resources
The U.S. Virgin Islands has a variety of resources to help new and growing businesses. The Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority works to promote ownership and expansion of small businesses by U.S. Virgin Islands residents through the Economic Development Bank, an entity under the VIEDA. The EDB gives would-be entrepreneurs the financial resources and technical assistance required to create and grow successful small businesses. The Virgin Islands Small Business Development Center (SBDC), a partnership of the University of the Virgin Islands and the U.S. Small Business Administration provides broad-based management and technical assistance to persons interested in starting a business or those individuals who are already in business.
We have assembled a collection of websites that provide helpful information for new and growing businesses.
