This program offers free in person or on-site (where appropriate) counseling to existing business ventures. The Enterprise Centre works with business owners and their staff to identify problems, concerns and opportunities and helps them to focus on the issues, develop alternatives, and consider courses of action. After an initial consultation, the business advisor will recommend the appropriate professional development stream(s) as offered by the Enterprise Centre.
