When people talk about business growth, the focus is often on revenue, scale, and market share.
What is discussed less often is who has access to build and sustain a business in the first place.
In Canada, entrepreneurship is not evenly distributed across populations. Differences in access to capital, networks, and support systems shape who is able to start, grow, and maintain a business.
This is not only a question of equity. It is a question of economic performance.
