Black Business Association of BC

Supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses in Canada through education, mentorship, and leadership development

OPERATIONAL SUPPORT

Our virtual platform means that you can be a member no matter in which Province or Territory you call home. Starting a new business can be daunting, we provide services to assist you with operational implementation, and we also have a network of colleagues specialized in key areas that offer strategic services based on your needs.

We aim to provide a suite of resources and tools (and in certain cases financial support) to start you off on the right foot.

ONLINE LEARNING PORTAL

Our portal has over 100 mini self-directed courses to build your competencies. From pre-start up planning and implementation to advanced scale up integrations, a small business owner is in a constant state of learning. Operations, sales, budgets, and HR are some of the key areas that can make or break a business. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge tools necessary to navigate the challenges of small business ownership.

MISSION

Our mission is to develop your leadership skills. From managers in the private and public sector, to entrepreneurs, and small business owners, we have something for you. Through a diversified selection of training materials, courses, and resources, pick and choose what you need to develop your skill set. Make an investment in yourself.

Today, we announced the first 30 successful applications of the Black Entrepreneurship Program’s National Ecosystem Fund, totaling more than $58M of this $100M initiative! Our investment to support Black entrepreneurs & businesses through this historic program will ensure a more inclusive, just & prosperous Canada.

Thank you to all my colleagues who joined today for your help and collaboration.
