Tips and a start-up guide are now available for entrepreneurs and business owners who are looking to start a business in the RMWB.
The guide is called “Your guide to Starting and Operating a Business in Wood Buffalo” and it provides ample information for residents who are new to the community, are considering starting a business, or are new to owning a business in the RMWB.
Community Futures Wood Buffalo, S.Millard Chartered Professional Accountant and the Insurance Bureau of Canada all took part in creating the Guide and a big thanks goes to the Government of Alberta and Global Affairs Canada who developed and distributed the Guide.
