About
Small Business BC is a non-profit organization that exists to help BC entrepreneurs start and grow their own business. No matter what stage a small business is at in its journey, we are standing by with the products, services and advice an entrepreneur needs to achieve their business goals. Our core services are provided in partnership with Pacific Economic Development Canada (PacifiCan) and the Ministry of Jobs, Economic Recovery and Innovation.
Starting out as a simple business planning contest almost 20 years ago, our annual Small Business BC Awards have evolved and grown over the years to become the largest awards program dedicated to small business in Western Canada. Almost 6,000 businesses have participated in our awards, covering every industry in our province. We believe that now, more than ever, it’s crucial to celebrate the achievements of these hard-working and resilient individuals.
