The Barbados Youth Business Trust

The Barbados Youth Business Trust is a youth entrepreneurship development organisation, a non-government organisation (NGO) and a registered charity. Established in 1994 by a group of local social entrepreneurs, it provides both financial and non-financial support to young persons with good business ideas and energy, who often lack of skills, knowledge and finance to create a sustainable business. These young unemployed persons would have been unable to receive funding from any traditional lending institutions, family or friends to start their business ventures. BYBT assist young people to develop skills and attitude which they will need to become successful entrepreneurs.
