RBC supports small businesses through Ontario's Small Business
Enterprise Centres
Small business owners can face a lot of hurdles when they're
starting out, and they may not yet have the expertise they
need to develop a strong business plan. In Ontario, help is
close at hand, with 44 Small Business Enterprise Centres across
the province offering one-stop solutions, services and programs
tailored to meet the needs of entrepreneurs and small businesses.
These independently-operated centres are funded by Ontario's
Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and various participating
organizations.
Each Small Business Enterprise Centre offers potential entrepreneurs
with easy access to business consulting services and information,
including management, marketing, technology and financing,
including:
- Free start-up consultations with a qualified business
consultant
- Review of business plans
- Mentoring and networking opportunities
- Various workshops and seminars
Since 1999, RBC has sponsored a number of Small Business
Enterprise Centres across the province, providing in-kind
support as well as a financial contribution in the amount
of $160,000.
