The city has launched a new support measure for businesses to transform their business model and diversify their income. Six organizations renowned for their sector-specific expertise will offer some 5,500 hours of personalized guidance to 450 small businesses in Montréal.

The new measure is part of Montréal’s economic recovery plan, “A Boost for the City: Acting Now”, and covers five sectors of activity that have been strongly affected by the slowing down of the economy: Retail commerce, arts and culture, biofood, social economy and tourism.

Actions déployées par les organismes partenaires

Six organizations, with financial support from the city and Service Québec, have developed an individual support program for small businesses whose main place of business is located on the island of Montréal.

École des entrepreneurs du Québec

The EEQ will provide support to 175 small businesses from all sectors of activity that took out loans during March 2020 to increase their chances of long-term survival, develop their financial resilience and lessen the impacts of debt through diversification and optimization of funding sources.

Institut de tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec

Conseil des industries bioalimentaires de l’île de Montréal

This measure has been launched as part of the Réflexe Montréal agreement between the city and the government of Québec which aims to develop Montréal’s fullest economic, social and cultural potential.

Service Québec has contributed to this measure with $350,000 that will enhance the number of hours of guidance offered to companies.
