BUSINESS ADVISORY CENTRE DURHAM

We are one of 54 Small Business Centres in Ontario who provide FREE (conditions apply) business support for individuals wanting to start a business, or grow their existing business. Most of our services are free to you because we are funded by the govern­ments of Ontario and the Region of Durham to encourage economic development and success in Durham Region. We also do offer additional services that are paid services. (see list of services) Our ultimate goal is to guide you in gaining the skills, knowledge, tools and resources to run a successful business.  When your business is successful you make money and spend money supporting our local economy thereby creating a thriving community to live and work in. You can participate in the programs and services that best meet your needs, and our Certified Business Advisors can work with you personally to develop the business plans and actions you need for your success.
