PATHWAY 1
The numbers tell the story: The “Gig Economy” is here to stay: there are just over a million employer businesses in Canada and of these 97.9% are small businesses. In fact, Finance Canada tells us that our economy is undergoing significant economic structural changes, away from a goods-producing to a services environment. That brings new opportunities to a qualified Business Growth Specialist.
Who Should Take It? Advisors who want to tap into the multiplicity of financial news new business owners require, especially those who have recently acquired a business from a retiring owner. Truly valuable advice for these clients takes more time, is broader and deeper. To do it well requires the skills and talents of a highly trained business
growth specialist. Any advisor who wants to build their own business with scalability, and help other business owners do the same should take this program.
