The Micro-Enterprise Program is coordinated by the City of Fulton Community Development Agency, City of Oswego Community Development Office, SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations (OBCR) and Operation Oswego County to provide guidance and support to people interested in starting or expanding a small business.
The program provides a 24-hour small-business training program that covers such topics as how to write a business plan, how to obtain financing, accounting and tax issues, business insurance, legalities, marketing, and other basic business start-up issues.
Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for up to $25,000 in low-interest financing to expand or start their business in Oswego County.
Scholarships are available for households within low to moderate-income guidelines as established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sponsoring agencies have agreed that the Micro Enterprise Training Class will be conducted online via GoToMeeting until further notice.

For more than 20 years I rented a dance studio and I really wanted to purchase my own space. I worked with John Halleron at the Oswego SBDC to finalize my business plan and my financials so that I could apply for a mortgage and buy my own place.
