Starting your own business is a dream for many of us! Yes, but how?

Starting your own business is a dream for many of us! Yes, but how? The worries, the paperwork and the financing can look very intimidating from the outside. That is why Sofifran created the “EntrePrend” project, which prepares and supports participants so they can start their own business and succeed as entrepreneurs.

This project, built with 3 active partners, SÉO, SADDEC and YPMD Consulting, is delivered through workshops until March 2020, in order to train, help and support any Francophone woman who wants to go into business for herself. Our partners lead workshops that each look at an important part of the entrepreneurial journey and prepare participants for the reality of business life.

YPMD Consulting: workshop on “La culture entrepreneuriale au Canada vs pays d’origine” (Entrepreneurial culture in Canada compared with the country of origin). Goal: understand the differences between the two ways of doing things and see why entrepreneurship in Canada has to be approached differently.
SÉO: a series of workshops made up of six sessions, the first of which is called “Lance ton affaire” (Start your business). Goal: give participants the tools and the coaching they need to bring their business to life and make it a success.
SADDEC: workshop “Fais le grand saut en confiance et relève le défi entrepreneurial” (Take the leap with confidence and rise to the entrepreneurial challenge), a model of success, with shared experience and entrepreneurial know-how.
