About GreatBizNow
Greatbiznow™ was founded with a goal of offering Small Business Centres, Business Development Agencies/Associations, Economic Development Departments and Post-Secondary Institutions programs, resources and tools to enhance their services for small businesses. The company was formed by three “small town” businesspersons, each with a significant track record in founding, developing, and growing businesses. In addition, our team has more than 25 years of combined experience as Economic Development Professionals and Small Business Centres leaders.
