Program Overview

Starting or growing a business often comes with complex decisions, from shaping a solid business plan to preparing for financing conversations. For women+ entrepreneurs across Canada, WeMB — Advice offers a practical way to get personalized guidance without the cost barrier. This program focuses on one-on-one, confidential advising that adapts to where you are in your business journey, whether you’re still refining an idea or managing an established small business.

Through WeMB, business owners can work directly with experienced Business Advisors who understand the realities of entrepreneurship. Support often includes hands-on help with business plans, guidance on legal or administrative documents, and preparation for loan applications or growth-related decisions. Advising sessions are flexible, with meetings available in person, by phone, or virtually, and translator-assisted services can be arranged in several languages to make support more accessible. While the advice itself is free, the program is also closely connected to financing pathways that can help businesses pursue investments such as equipment purchases or expansion, with loan support that can reach into the six-figure range for businesses meeting certain requirements.

Because the guidance is tailored and ongoing, WeMB — Advice can be especially valuable for founders who want clear direction and trusted input as they plan their next steps. Exploring the full details can help you see how this support fits your business goals and stage.
