Self-Employment Benefit Program: Peter Sass’ Story
After being laid-off from the Mill, Peter went to the Employment Assistant Services office to seek direction. There he learned of the Self Employment Benefit Program (SEB). “It’s exactly what I needed.” After speaking with an Employment Services Advisor, a referral was made. Being on EI with an entrepreneur spirit, he decided to open up his own Computer Sales and Technical Support business. The SEB program allowed him to continue receiving his EI benefits for 48 weeks, while starting his new business.
“This was a big plus. I would not even have considered being a business owner without this financial support. It gave me the ability to put revenue in my business right away. The SEB program helped me with my Business plan, business license and provided ongoing support. I knew exactly what my requirements and obligations were and found it very practical. I received excellent service all the way!”
