What is a micro entrepreneur?
Microenterprise development programs generally focus on undeserved populations, which have difficulty accessing business development services or credit through traditional institutions. In Maryland, micro entrepreneurs cut across all demographic lines-from men to women, from low to middle income, from very young to middle-aged, from the downsized worker to the disabled, from urban to rural. Micro entrepreneurs choose a wide range of businesses-ones that fit their interests, abilities and niches in local economies. From fly-fishing guide services in rural Western Maryland to food catering services in Baltimore City to artists and desktop publishing entrepreneurs on the Eastern Shore, microenterprise works!
