Aboriginal Business Service Network
The Aboriginal Business Service Network (ABSN) builds on the structure of existing Canada Business Service Centres (CBSC) located across the country which provide free-of-charge access to government information on business programs, services and regulations. These resources are tailored to meet unique requirements of Aboriginal clients. Aboriginal entrepreneurs need information and resources to improve their access to capital and to establish or develop their businesses. Therefore, under the ABSN, $6.4 million will be invested over four years to address these needs. This network is being established, using information and Internet technologies, where possible, to provide a range of business products and services.
