The Orangeville & Area Small Business Enterprise Centre is part of a larger network of 54 Small Business Centres (SBC) across the province. SBCs offer a range of free business support services to entrepreneurs who are starting or growing their ventures. Through the support of the Ontario Government, SBC Ontario recently launched a new website www.sbcontario.ca. to increase access and awareness of the Centres’ services in their role as the Ontario COVID-19 Economic Recovery Network.

This move has increased collaboration and resource sharing among the SBC offices, creating the opportunity for the new centralized body SBC Ontario.
