BizLink Celebration

It’s a celebration and you’re invited!

 

Join us for some networking with fellow community members, help us celebrate our recent provincial award for BizLink, and learn about program impacts and what it can offer our business owners and entrepreneurs.

Community Futures Ontario recognizes the BizLink Program as the Community Economic Development (CED) Project of the year.

 

BizLink, a regional Community Futures Development Corporation (CFDC) program, connects new entrepreneurs with retiring business owners and supports them through successful business transitions, simultaneously developing successful entrepreneurs who create employment, maintain valuable goods and service offerings, and contribute to local economies.

 

With proven knowledge and tools, the program confidentially and anonymously guides entrepreneurs through the full transition process and provides wrap-around support for the entire life cycle of a business.

 

To date, the program has assisted with 79 successful business transitions, and trained and developed 1,187 people through coaching and workshop attendance.

 

The program was created and is administered by Orillia Area CDC, Nottawasaga Futures, Community Futures South Georgian Bay, and North Simcoe Community Futures Development Corporation.
