How Does it Work?

The Ontario Self-Employed Benefit program is funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

The OSEB Program allows participants to receive their Employment Insurance Benefits while they are getting their business up and running. Individuals qualifying for this program receive income support and business counselling (group training sessions as well as one-on-one business mentoring) following their acceptance into the program.

The OSEB program has been a catalyst for entrepreneurship and small business development in Northumberland.
