Êtes-vous business?

Starting or growing a business can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re navigating planning, finances, and administration at the same time. The Êtes-vous business? program is designed to meet entrepreneurs where they are, offering practical guidance rather than one-size-fits-all funding. Delivered through a collaboration between Employment and Social Development Canada and the Conseil économique et coopératif de la Saskatchewan, this initiative focuses on building strong business foundations through hands-on workshops and expert support.

The program places a strong emphasis on business basics and smart management, covering topics such as evaluating a business idea, preparing a business or marketing plan, and understanding the financial management of not-for-profit organizations. It also supports entrepreneurs looking to expand, with guidance on market research, feasibility studies, and administrative steps like registration, incorporation, and taxation. While the initiative is open nationally, it is particularly valuable for Francophone and Francophile entrepreneurs connected to Saskatchewan’s business ecosystem. Support is non-repayable, with the value depending on the scope of services and activities involved.

Êtes-vous business? is well suited for startups and small organizations that want expert advice, networking opportunities, and confidential one-on-one support without taking on debt. For entrepreneurs considering their next move, learning more about how this program works could be a meaningful step toward turning an idea into a sustainable venture.
