Our Cafés are back in session. An updated schedule with our 2010 dates & topics will be posted soon.

June 17, 2010: Ahead of the Game

Starting a business of your own can be an intimidating prospect. Buying into a franchise with an established track record may seem like the simplest way to become your own boss, and the success rate for franchisees is high, but franchising isn't for everyone, and prospective franchisees need to do their homework first. Join us for our June 17th Café with guest speaker Mike Thomson of The UPS Store. Mike will give you an insider's perspective on the growing franchise industry from his 20+ years of experience. Please Note: the Cafe will be on hiatus for the months of July & August. Check back for Fall dates and topics.

7:30am -  8:30am

Fee: $10.00 per session, payable at the door

Registration is required to obtain a seat! Bring a friend, but please note that registration and payment are required from each person attending.

For more information on this event, or to reserve a seat, phone Mary Ann Martin at 905-641-2252 x 4456.

 Stay in the loop!

Join us at our monthly Networking Café, a monthly series that features a 15-minute, high-energy presentation about topics of interest to small business owners, followed by the opportunity to chat with some of our staff and catch up on what's going on at the Business Development Centre, reconnect with fellow clients, and make some new connections as well.

Kick-start your Thursdays once a month with some morning refreshments, some great conversations, and some new info to add to your business savvy.
