Program details

Business Essentials are in-person and free-of-charge workshops offering entrepreneurs and businesses the opportunity to grow their skills. Each session is led by a local business expert or community partner and involves a practical tool for the participant's business development toolkit. Participants can walk away and use the tool they have learned right away, such as creating a media post on Canva, invoicing in QuickBooks, protecting their online identity, and knowledge for accessing capital. The workshops also provide opportunities to connect with other small business owners and like-minded people. The cost is subsidized by the Impact Loan, with support from Envision Saint John: The Regional Growth Agency.
