“Canada’s prosperity depends on small and medium-sized businesses and the entrepreneurs who own them. Indeed, 98 per cent of all Canadian businesses have less than 100 employees. Every fall, we celebrate entrepreneurs and their invaluable contribution to our country during Small Business Week, taking place this year from October 14 to 20. Across the country, there will be hundreds of events where entrepreneurs – and prospective entrepreneurs – will have the chance to learn, network and exchange ideas. We know how demanding it can be to build, maintain and grow a strong, business. Competitive pressure is fierce and to succeed, entrepreneurs have to be willing to take risks, continually
improve their management skills and seek out resources to make strategic investments. Practical information and advice are essential to successfully tackle their projects. One way that entrepreneurs can position their businesses for sustained growth is by investing in more technology. By harnessing the latest information and communications technology, they can make better decisions, reach more customers and ultimately build bigger, more productive, more profitable businesses. Small Business Week is an ideal time to benefit from interaction with others to renew your enthusiasm for your own business or to embark on a new project. I encourage you to attend an event in your area so you can talk to other entrepreneurs, learn and get inspired. As always, BDC is here to help because when entrepreneurs succeed, Canada succeeds.”
“Small Business Week is an opportunity to reflect on the challenges Canadian entrepreneurs must face and how we can support them.” – Jean-Rene Halde, BDC President & CEO
