Aboriginal Business Canada provides business services and support to Canadian Aboriginal peoples. This document describes how we work with you, what we look for and how we can help your "youth" business succeed.

Many young Aboriginal entrepreneurs are already operating successful businesses in a range of sectors in all parts of the country. Yet there has never been a greater need to focus on young Aboriginal people interested in business nor a greater opportunity to do so.

Today, some 68 percent of Aboriginal Canadians are under the age of 30. This illustrates the importance of committing resources and effort to encouraging, preparing and supporting those who choose to own and operate a business as a livelihood. Aboriginal youth are more highly educated and technically literate than ever before. To encourage the use of these skills in business development, Aboriginal Business Canada is placing priority on supporting initiatives that encourage Aboriginal youth to get into business. This includes supporting entrepreneurship development and the application of information technology skills to business.
