Clients who are already self-employed and those who have a self-employment enterprise they wish to develop may be engaged in this activity if deemed appropriate. The development of this activity will be on a very limited basis, when definite entrepreneurial potential is present. Assistance may include the dissemination of available information on starting businesses, developing a list of sources of possible contacts, locating training and business information centers, determining potential lenders, etc.

Clients for whom micro-enterprise development is determined to be appropriate should be referred to a local micro-enterprise lending program (SBA program, Good Faith Fund, etc.) if available in the area. In counties in which a micro-enterprise lending program is available, participation in such a program will be allowable activity.
