Women's Enterprise Centre
It's your business. Start. Grow. Succeed.

The challenges of running my own business, which I have never done before, are greater than I ever imagined. This group is something that I need so badly to help me and guide me to become a successful business in Whistler. Any knowledge that Sue Adams can pass on is priceless. -Keri Earnshaw, Whistler Therapeutics Inc., Whistler BC-

Are you considering self-employment?

Pre-Startup Transitioners are those women who are just starting to consider the transition to self-employment. They have not yet started their business, but have a firm intention to do so. To respond to the mentors’ clear indications that they would rather work with women already in business, assistance to this group will be made up of the following elements:

  • The Taking the Leap resource guide, distributed in hard copy and electronic form throughout the province.
  • The Creating Your Business learning guide (available for sale, complete with 6 complimentary coaching sessions).
  • A self-guided e-learning module, to introduce these transitioners to the issues they might face

Women's Enterprise Centre offers many resources for women about to leap into self-employment.
