Entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the Canadian economy and often we refer to these types of companies as SME’s, which are companies under 500 employees. They represent 99% of all Canadian companies; they represent 90% of all jobs in the private sector; and SME’s accounted for 85% of all net new jobs created in Canada last year.
