We've referred four entrepreneurs, a new-Canadian business owner, and even a seasoned executive to Allysa Hopkins and her team at Small Business BC; in each case, the feedback has been phenomenal.

As funders of new ventures, we routinely come across start-ups and small businesses in need of practical guidance during their incubation and growth cycles.

This is when we turn to Allysa. She's a rapid-fire go-getter who really knows her way around the SBBC group. Usually, within two business days, she has our folks in the touch with specific members of her team at SBBC.

That team has been instrumental in providing market research, tips for expanding sales to off-shore markets, and strategic business planning. In one instance, a newly-arrived entrepreneur needed help with everything from incorporating his company to developing a web site. He's fortunate the agency was there to help him out.

In short, I'm proud to refer entrepreneurs to Allysa and SBBC; their assistance has provided purposeful support to our company- /candidate-clients, resulting in executable business plans for creating bankable ventures.
