 Start a Company… Launch Your Future!   Now accepting applications!

The Chatham-Kent Small Business Centre is pleased to announce the launch of Starter Company, a comprehensive entrepreneurship development program. Starter Company is designed to assist enterprising young people between the ages of 18-29, who are not students in school, launch a new business or expand an existing one. There is no cost to participants.
Starter Company includes the development of a business plan through a 12 session seminar series, one-on-one consultations, and mentorship with an expert panel. Entrepreneurs who successfully complete the program will have the opportunity to apply for up to $5,000 in provincial grant funding.
Starter Company provides:

  • training and business skills development to help youth prepare to run their own business
  • advice and guidance from a Small Business Centre Advisor to help get the business up and running
