Running a business comes with questions, challenges, and sometimes not knowing who to call or where to go for help. This Lunch & Learn is designed to change that.

SDBA is partnering with CIBC and Startup Center to connect business owners directly with organizations that can help them navigate their next steps.

CIBC provides financial services and business banking solutions that can help entrepreneurs better understand their finances, prepare for growth, and explore opportunities to access capital.

Startup Center supports entrepreneurs and small businesses through business development, technical assistance, resources, and guidance to help businesses start, strengthen, and grow.

But most importantly, we want to hear from YOU. What challenges are you facing? What resources do you need? What would actually help your business move forward?

Come have lunch, meet our partners, ask questions, and make connections that can help your business grow.
