What’s next? Managing your business’s finances in 2021

After a difficult year for entrepreneurs, the road to recovery is still filled with uncertainty. To face whatever the coming year may bring, now is the time to get your financial house in order.

While the Canadian economy should grow by 4% to 5% in 2021, a full recovery would likely have to wait until 2022. But no matter how well your business is performing, strong financial management is essential for positioning yourself to grow in the recovery.

In this free webinar, BDC experts offer practical advice for optimizing your cash flow, effectively controlling costs and managing your financial needs.

You’ll discover how to:

  • implement sound financial management practices to cope with high uncertainty
  • position your business for the recovery with effective cash flow management strategies
  • assess your business's financing needs and learn how to fulfill them

Who should watch:

Businesses of all types—from the hardest hit by the pandemic to those managing rapid growth.

  • Businesses experiencing low activity (operating in survival and mitigation mode)
  • Businesses experiencing reduced levels of activity (operating anywhere from 50% to 70% of their “normal” capacity)
  • Businesses operating as usual with the potential for growth

Fill in the form to get your webinar. It’s 100% free.
