A guide to resources for BC women to start a business

Since 1995, our team of Business Advisors has helped thousands of women to start their own business in BC. This guide answers the most common questions our Business Advisors hear, like what to include in a business plan and how to register your business.

Entrepreneurship can be a positive life-changing experience! Yet, the steps you need to take in order to turn your business idea into a reality can be overwhelming, especially if this is your first experience with self-employment.

Quite often new entrepreneurs don’t know what they don’t know when starting a business and this can result in many mistakes along the way.

In the Starting Your Business Resource Guide, we walk through the steps and factors to consider, and highlight what useful resources are available to support you. Throughout the guide, you’ll meet inspirational BC women who share their own business experiences.

This guide goes well with our Starting a Business Info Session, which is a free webinar offered each week to cover how to write a business plan and how to make your business official. Learn more >>>
