Celebrating Small Business Month Canada 2024

Beyond the vibrant colors of autumn, October marks an important time for the small business community in Canadaโ€”it's Small Business Month! At AIM Insurance, we recognize the vital role small businesses play in driving the nationโ€™s economy and supporting local communities.

October serves as a month-long celebration of entrepreneurship, resilience, and innovation across Canada. Whether it's called Small Business Month or Small Business Week, itโ€™s a time to honor the impact of small businesses on the Canadian economy. Small businessesโ€”those with fewer than 100 employeesโ€”make up 98% of all employer businesses in Canada, providing jobs for over 10 million people and contributing nearly 37% to the nationโ€™s GDP.

At AIM Insurance, we support the entrepreneurial spirit of small business owners by offering a range of resources and services designed to help you thrive. From learning opportunities to financial tools, we are committed to being your trusted partner in business growth and success.
