I was in nearby Vancouver late last week.
I think the important thing is to think as creatively as the entrepreneurs do about what they might need and what a new company might look like. As an example, we launched a side hustle program a couple of years ago. There are some communities where an entrepreneur doesn't feel ready to launch right away. They don't feel comfortable quitting their day job, or they have home requirements that don't let them go full time into their start-up life. We try to have nimble opportunities to meet entrepreneurs where they are. That's an example.
To be honest, the more we can help these young entrepreneurs understand what these opportunities are, see entrepreneurship as a viable pathway, see the experiences of others who have succeeded, the more we can help them in getting a little ahead to understand what it looks like next. What is the next barrier they're going to face? Succession planning is a huge area right now where we recognize that some entrepreneurs don't start a business because they had a great idea. They just want to be a business owner. We're getting into that space.
We have our offerings. We're expanding in these areas. As the government thinks about the way it wants to support small business owners as they grow into medium and large-sized business owners, thinking creatively about what business ownership can be for different age groups is an important factor.
