NOTE
 FROM THE EDITOR
 Our last issue was published in April 2020 when the coronavirus was just starting to wreak havoc in Jamaica . More than a year has passed and Jamaicans are now , more than ever , actively looking for ways to start viable businesses . There ’ s a growing need for increased income at the microeconomic level not only for individuals , but also for Jamaica ’ s survival .
 This magazine issue is , therefore , particularly special . We ’ ve carefully curated content that can help you understand some of the intricacies of starting a business in Jamaica . You ’ ll learn about filing taxes , securing grants , and general tips that can help you succeed as an entrepreneur in this dynamic landscape .
 I wish for you great success as you embark on your entrepreneurial journey .
 Happy reading !
