CVOEO Micro Business Development Program provides free, one-on-one business counseling to low- to moderate-income Vermonters who own or intend to start a small business. The services cover getting started, business planning, marketing development, and funding options, with an expanded scope to include personal financial classes and asset-building guidance. Based in Burlington, Vermont, the program is part of the business consulting and services sector and operates statewide through Vermont’s five Community Action Agencies. It serves the Champlain Valley counties of Addison, Chittenden, Franklin, and Grand Isle, with counselors meeting in Burlington, Middlebury, and St. Albans. A 2024 partnership with the Vermont Sustainable Jobs Fund expanded access to multilingual financial literacy content through the Business Sense series.
