For 30 years, WeBC has been a vital resource for women entrepreneurs across British Columbia, offering financing, training, and mentorship to help businesses thrive. Recognizing the need to measure its impact, WeBC conducted this Impact Study to assess its effectiveness during the 5-year period from 2019 to 2024, and identify opportunities for growth.

This report shares the results of research conducted between May and December 2024, to assess the effectiveness of WeBC’s services and understand the needs and wants of women and non-binary entrepreneurs in BC. Moving beyond studying long-term trends, the study also identifies opportunities to improve supports to promote inclusive economic growth.
