  • Greater Victoria Public Library 735 Broughton Street Victoria (map)

Tired of fluffy vague entrepreneurship stories? Attend this workshop to learn practical tips to get you started. Topics covered include: building your credit, and how to obtain financing, saving and planning for the future. This series will guide you through the logistical and financial hurdles of establishing and operating a business in Victoria as an immigrant/minority.
