Building Enterprising Communities P3
The Benefits of Business
Entrepreneurs need skills training and access to capital to start and grow their businesses. An innovative program at the PARO Centre for Women’s Enterprise in Northern Ontario provides both.
Social enterprises differ from the traditional business model and often require alternate forms of financing in their start-up phases and also as they grow and develop. Inner City Renovation and the Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company in Winnipeg both began and flourished with innovative funding solutions.
