Why Is It Becoming More Difficult to Be an Entrepreneur in Canada?

News

July 11, 2023•2 min read

Is the daily slog chipping away at you?

Don't worry, you aren't the only one.

It's something that happens every so often in our cyclical economy.

There are ups, there are downs.

But we all feel it together - so head up!

Take a look at some key take aways from an article written in the Global and Mail about entrepreneurship in Canada, I've placed the link below.

A very interesting perspective.

But as any true entrepreneur knows, where there is crisis, there is also opportunity.

Labor shortage?

Or Job openings.

Expertise vacuum?

Or an opportunity to carve out your market, especially in an online environment.

My absolute favourite ;).

However you want to look at it, life is going to give you lemons.

When things are hard, and you make it through, no matter what it is that you are doing, or the level you are doing it at...

The good times are just that much better.

So are we making sour faces, or sipping in the sun?

Let me know.

Original Article: Why entrepreneurship in Canada has gotten so hard

Link to Globe and Mail Article Post: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-entrepreneurship-recovery-covid-canada/

Our Key Takeaways

Canadian entrepreneurship surged during the early phases of COVID-19 but is now facing challenges like rising interest rates and stringent business lending conditions.
Many entrepreneurs are struggling to repay Canadian Emergency Business Account (CEBA) loans due by year-end.
Remote work and tech layoffs are encouraging entrepreneurship, but accessing capital remains a challenge, with Canadian banks extending fewer small-business loans than average.
The implementation of an open-banking system could facilitate easier access to capital.
Younger entrepreneurs report higher levels of stress and fear of failure than their older counterparts.
Many seasoned entrepreneurs hesitate to pass on their businesses to their children due to the associated stress.
Despite these challenges, some entrepreneurs, such as Kevin Sandhu, founder of fintech startup Otter, remain optimistic, seeing the situation as a temporary slowdown.

How ChatGPT Lead Generation & Google Leads Become Sales & Bookings

Whether prospects arrive via LLM surfacing (ChatGPT lead generation) or Google leads from organic/branded queries, both paths converge on AI-optimized content. From there, credibility signals confirm trust, and Voice AI engagement books appointments, routes calls, and qualifies opportunities—producing organized leads and clear conversions.

Note: Captions are examples. Swap in your own proof points (e.g., case studies, compliance language, live demos) to match your visibility and trust strategy.
