What a grand finale to our class work on Starting a Small Business!
Participants from MicroSkills received valuable information from representatives of Enterprise Toronto, ranging from legal setup (sole proprietorship, partnership, or incorporation), financing, and licencing to war stories from Michael Wolfson, an advisor with 35 years of food industry experience.
