Funded by the Government of Ontario, Starter Company Plus supports entrepreneurs wishing to start, expand or purchase an existing business in the County of Renfrew, including the City of Pembroke.

This program has proven to be very helpful for entrepreneurs with new business ideas and for owners of businesses that have been operating for five years or less. Starter Company Plus provides three months of business coaching, business plan development, mentoring and instruction from our staff and professional trainers. Also included are information sessions with local insurance, legal and accounting professionals and, networking events with successful local entrepreneurs.

At the end of the Starter Company Plus program there is an opportunity for participants to compete, through a business plan pitch contest, for a grant of up to $4,000 to be applied to their business operations.

Interested entrepreneurs must email Heather Inwood-Montrose, Small Business Advisor with Enterprise Renfrew County, at Small Business Advisor, to select the Zoom virtual Starter Company Plus information session of their choice. Options are either Wednesday, June 1, 1-3 p.m. or Tuesday, June 7, 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

For additional information, entrepreneurs may call the Small Business Advisor at 613-639-5853. At the end of the Information Session, once participants are familiar with the Starter Company Plus requirements, benefits and timelines, they will be invited to apply to the program.

“Starter Company Plus is a comprehensive program that provides entrepreneurs with training and guidance to help them succeed in business,” states Inwood-Montrose.
