Small businesses and entrepreneurs highlighted in Prince Albert
This week, the Prince Albert and District Chamber of Commerce welcomed representatives from the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC).
Pierre Cléroux, vice-president of BDC and research and chief economist, was at a luncheon held at the Ches Leach Lounge on Wednesday to speak about growing business trends for small business entrepreneurs in Canada.
One of the messages highlighted during the luncheon was the importance for small businesses to offer products and service to a wide consumer base geographically, and to use the internet to advertise and offer those products and service.
“I think it’s the best way to promote our programs, but also our businesses because the web allowed the small business to be much bigger,” said Cléroux. “They have access to a much bigger network than they used to because the web is really worldwide.”
