Programs: Pre-launch Coaching and Resources
As a young entrepreneur, you can benefit from access to the right information and resources. The Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF) has a comprehensive network of resources including community partners, entrepreneurs-in-residence and an Online Business Resource Centre.
Community Partners
Our community partners are located across the country and are a prime resource for young entrepreneurs. Your community partner will direct you to additional small business resources in your area, and help you establish a business plan that will meet all CYBF application criteria. You can visit, call or email your community partner to ask questions and for help firming up your business plan.
Entrepreneurs-in-Residence
A CYBF entrepreneur-in-residence (EIR) can provide you with support and guidance in all areas relating to the start of a new business. Our EIRs are available across the country and can be contacted by phone or email.
Business Resource Centre
Our Online Business Resource Centre provides information and insights about pre-planning, starting and growing your business. Extensive additional resources and things to consider are also listed.
