Your Guide to Small Business is designed to give entrepreneurs the tools they need to succeed. It’s not a “how to” book; it’s an information resource that will help identify the things one needs to do before, during and after launching a business.

Every year, thousands of Ontarians take the leap. With high hopes and unbridled enthusiasm, they launch their own businesses and enter the challenging-and potentially rewarding-world of entrepreneurship. Some of them thrive, but many fail. And most often it's because they weren't well prepared and didn't know what they needed to know.

This book is designed to give entrepreneurs like you the tools you need to succeed. It's not a "how to" book; it's an information resource that will help you identify the things you need to do before, during and after launching your own business.

It begins at the starting line with the all-important question: do you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?

There's also a section on valuable contacts and resources for entrepreneurs, which includes important government programs and business associations, as well as ten must-visit websites.

Finally, the book includes inspiring and informative success stories and tips and advice from successful entrepreneurs and Small Business Enterprise Centre (SBEC) managers.

About Ontario:

Ontario (IPA: /ɒnˈtɛərioʊ/) is a province located in the east-central part of Canada, the largest by population and second largest, after Quebec, (Nunavut and the Northwest Territories are larger but are not provinces) in total area. Ontario is bordered by the provinces of Manitoba to the west, Quebec to the east, and the American states of Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. Most of Ontario's borders with the United States are natural, starting at the Lake of the Woods and continuing through the four Great Lakes: Superior, Huron (which includes Georgian Bay), Erie, and Ontario (for which the province is named), then along the Saint Lawrence River near Cornwall. Ontario is the only Canadian Province that borders the Great Lakes.

The capital of Ontario is Toronto, the largest city in Canada. Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is located in Ontario as well. The 2006 Census counted 12,160,282 residents in Ontario, which accounted for 38.5% of the national population.

The province takes its name from Lake Ontario, which is thought to be derived from ontarí:io, a Huron word meaning "great lake", or possibly skanadario which means "beautiful water" in Iroquoian.[8] Along with New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec, Ontario is one of the four original provinces of Canada when the nation was formed on July 1, 1867 by the British North America Act.

Ontario is Canada's leading manufacturing province accounting for 52 per cent of the total national manufacturing shipments in 2004. (From wikipedia)
