Our business advisors are entrepreneurs themselves and passionate about helping you succeed in your business.
The fundamental elements for a successful business are the same across all industries with a few differences such as manufacturing, service or product based businesses. Our role is to be your advisory partner, help you formulate an action plan for success and provide support and encouragement.
Our advisory services are confidential and free if you live and own a business in the Waterloo Region. If you are from outside the region, you can connect with your local small business centre (find your locations at www.sbcontario.ca).
