Business Consultation

Consultations are a 30min, private and confidential meeting with a business advisor to discuss your specific questions and issues regarding business start-up and growth.  Our business advisors will help you understand your current business stage and recommend a course of action to make your business vision a reality.

Once you complete and submit the Business Consultation Form below, one of our the business advisors will contact you within three (3) business days. BEC will determine if a consultation is right for you at this time, or if one of our other services is more suitable.  Consultations are a FREE service, and therefore in high demand; please allow ten to twelve (10-12) business days for scheduling.

**Please fully complete the request form.  Questions left unanswered will make you ineligible for this free service.

​
Cancellation and Missed Appointment Policy:

Your appointment is for your exclusive use and when it is cancelled with short notice, or missed altogether, it is often too late or impossible to offer this time to someone else and the appointment time goes unfilled.

•A full 24 hours notice is required for cancelling appointments.
•If you cancel with less than 24 hours, the Entrepreneur Centre reserves the right to refuse rebooking for clients with previous no shows or late cancellation and will be subject to a $50 cancellation fee.
