Business Link Pacific
Eligible businesses pay half. BLP pays the rest.
Business Link Pacific covers 50% of approved advisor work for eligible Kiribati businesses, and Quadem is a BLP Approved Advisor under the scheme. Four gates stand between most businesses and that subsidy, each one handled by a different body. Here is the whole pathway, in order, and where we come in.
An eligible business pays half the cost of the approved advisor's work. BLP pays the rest.
The pathway
The four gates, in order.
Each one is a gate. If you have not passed a gate yet, that is the step to do next, and a different body handles each of them.
Step 1.Register the business
Registration with the Ministry of Tourism, Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives is what makes the business a legal entity. Everything after this depends on that record existing.
Ministry of Tourism, Commerce, Industry and CooperativesStep 2.Join KCCI
Membership of the Kiribati Chamber of Commerce and Industry is mandatory for the scheme, not optional. It is also where the BLP officer sits, so this step puts you in the same place as step 4.

An operational licence from the island council for the district where the business actually trades. A business trading in Betio needs the licence from that council, not from another one.
Island council for your districtStep 4.Business Diagnosis with the BLP officer
The BLP officer stationed at KCCI works through the business with you and identifies what it needs. When that diagnosis names a website or a system as a need, Quadem can be brought in as a BLP Approved Advisor, and the 50% applies from there.

On what you have told us, the gates before the diagnosis are behind you. The next step is the BLP officer at KCCI, and if the diagnosis names a website or a system, Quadem can be brought in as a BLP Approved Advisor.
You have already had the Business Diagnosis.
That is the last gate. If the diagnosis named a website or a system as a need, Quadem can be brought in as a BLP Approved Advisor from here.
