The Cornwall Business Enterprise Centre mission is to help entrepreneurs succeed. Our services include helping with business plan development, one-on-one business coaching, market research assistance and financial opportunities for up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
You may need information about business structure, how to register your business name, what taxes you’ll have to pay and of course, how to stay on track to keep your business moving in the right direction. We can assist you with all this and much more.
