Supporting small businesses starts with understanding their needs.
In 2025-2026, 8,101 businesses across Ontario received business advisory services through the Community Futures Program, connecting entrepreneurs with local knowledge, guidance, and support to help them navigate the challenges and opportunities of running a business.
From exploring an idea and developing a business plan to navigating growth and planning for the future, business advisory services are an important part of the Community Futures model.
As we count down to Community Futures Week on September 21-27, we’re celebrating the locally driven support helping entrepreneurs and small businesses move forward in communities across Ontario.
