Grow Your Business Online:

In the digital age, it's crucial for consumer-facing businesses to develop and implement e-commerce capabilities to remain competitive. Here's some resources to help businesses grow into the digital age:

  • Canadian Digital Adoption Program

    How Canadians do business has changed. To stay competitive and grow, small and medium-sized businesses need to adopt new digital tools.

    In Budget 2021, the Government of Canada announced the $4 billion Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) to help get your business online, give your e-commerce presence a boost or help digitalize your business's operations.

    CDAP provides funding and support to businesses, as well as training and work opportunities for young Canadians.

  • BC Marketplace

Small Business BC created this initiative to support and increase sales to local businesses across BC. The platform is free to use for the customer and business owner and provides an opportunity for BC consumers to find product and service providers closer to home and put money back into the local BC economy.
