Local businesses are still able to take advantage of local expertise thanks to the Digital Consult Program.

The objective of Digital Consult is to connect small business owners in Cornwall, SDG and Akwesasne with experts in finance, legal, marketing, technology and on-line solutions. Business owners will be able to book an expert for up to 3 (three) 90 minute consulting sessions, allowing them to ask questions, identify available assistant programs, and plan out future activities and more.

COVID-19 has challenged many businesses over the past months in many ways.  Pivoting and adjusting has certainly been part of the everyday activity, often throwing business owners into a world where they are sometimes not as comfortable or knowledgeable. As we approach the Roadmap to Reopening, Digital Consult will help business owners navigate this new world, and hopefully develop a pathway to success.

All consultations will be confidential and specific to the business.

  • Be located within Cornwall, SDG or Akwesasne
