The full spectrum of support services needed to foster growth of businesses from incubation to export is essentially situated under the umbrella of this Ministry. It is in this regard that the Ministry has designated November as Business Month, and will take the opportunity to educate and advise the business community and Saint Lucians on a whole on the roles and functions of each of the affiliate entities.
