Investment Training for Women Entrepreneurs
Finding concise information on the ins and outs of the food industry can be difficult,
especially when it comes to information small businesses.
While most food businesses in Canada are small, the governing rules and regulations were built for big corporations, making them particularly challenging to navigate for entrepreneurs. The Small Scale Food Processor Association (SSFPA) is creating a resource guide incorporating all aspects of starting and growing a food business — from information about the Canadian food industry as a sector to the minutiae of labeling, certifications, and much, much, more! Below we have included resources pertinent to food businesses considering investment; check out the SSFPA’s full resource catalog here.
