WIN A BUSINESS START-UP PACKAGE!

Attention Canadian entrepreneurs!

If you own or operate a small business in Canada you probably are aware that there are almost no grants and loans available to businesses. Money, one of the most important things start-ups need, usually comes from savings, family or friends.

For many years at CanadaOne we have wished we could do more to help entrepreneurs access grants or loans. Well, we can't change the government. What we can – and have – done is to create a fun contest with a terrific grand prize.

Between April 4 and June 18, 2008 we are inviting you* to tell us why you think your start-up or growth business plan is going to succeed. We want to know what is great about your business. We want to hear about your passion for starting or running a business in Canada.
