This program has helped thousands of men and women succeed in business in Ontario. BIZSMARTZ Graduates stay in business longer than their non-BIZSMARTZ contempories, therefore contributing not only to economic growth in their cities and towns, but to their own financial independence! Cutting this program will especially result in even more barriers to success for women over the age of 30- the majority users of the program-who are educated, experienced and have the skills, but not the resources to become successful entrepreneurs.
