How to start a small business with confidence

As B.C.’s labour market continues to recover from the initial shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are starting to see the world of work from a new perspective. For some, job security may continue to be uncertain. Others may have discovered new skills, identified a need they could meet, or just loved the convenience of working from home, and considered starting a small business.
 
There are many motivations to becoming an entrepreneur, but starting out can be daunting. Fortunately, VCC’s small business courses offer an efficient way to gain the foundational knowledge and skills to start and grow a successful small business.
