Download or read book SME and Entrepreneurship Policy in Canada written by Collectif and published by OECD. This book was released on 2017-07-25 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SMEs and entrepreneurs make an important contribution to the Canadian economy. SMEs account for 60% of total employment, and Canada performs very well across many measures of small business generation, growth and innovation. However, further increases in productivity in medium-sized firms, an increase in SME exports, a greater business start-up rate and an increased number of high-growth firms could bring substantial benefits for the national economy. This report identifies several areas where new policy approaches could help achieve these objectives. Framework conditions for small business could be improved in business taxation, public procurement, access to financing and the commercialisation of research. New and extended programmes could be introduced in domains including entrepreneurship education, management advice and consultancy, and workforce skills development. A major effort is recommended to prioritise women's entrepreneurship, including by supporting social enterprises, and federal support could be offered to support the exchange of information on best practice SME regulations and programmes among provinces and territories. All this could be brought together and co-ordinated through the umbrella of a national strategy and a lead agency for SME and entrepreneurship policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Canada's small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) punch above their weight in their contribution to Canada's economy. According to Industry Canada, more than 98 per cent of the country's nearly 1.2 million small and medium businesses have less than 100 employees, yet they employ nearly 70 per cent of our workforce. When businesses with 100 to 499 employees are added, SMEs employ just shy of 90 per cent of Canadians. ... As the Voice of Canadian Business, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce strives to shape federal public policy and decision-making to the benefit of businesses, communities and families across Canada. In August 2013, the Canadian Chamber held its initial roundtable to explore how it could best support entrepreneurs. In May and June 2014, the Canadian Chamber extended this initiative and undertook discussions across the country with entrepreneurs who lead fast-growth, high-potential SMEs. Its objective was to identify the challenges these businesses face and the opportunities they anticipate to determine if and/or where the Canadian Chamber could make the most effective contribution to assist these firms"--

Within the range of SMEs, small companies are defined as companies that produce goods and have less than 100 employees, or that provide services and have less than 50 employees. Further, over 87% of all Canadian businesses have fewer than 20 employees, accounting for over 2 million jobs. ... SMEs are equally important to Government of Canada procurement. Each year, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC), on behalf of government, awards more than $16 billion in contracts for goods and services. On average, approximately 40% of the value, and 76% of the number, of contracts with Canadian companies goes to SMEs. For contracts worth less than $1M, these percentages rise to 75% and 80% respectively. These figures represent businesses in all parts of Canada that help the government benefit and serve Canadians. SMEs matter to procurement. As part of its overall mandate, Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) continuously seeks to investigate and develop services for increasing the efficiency and economy of the federal public administration and for enhancing integrity and efficiency in the contracting process. The Office of Small and Medium Enterprises and Strategic Engagement (OSME-SE) was first created in 2005, with a mandate to help SMEs do business with the government. It helps SMEs understand how to do business with the government, and helps the government understand, and respond to, the needs of SMEs"--Background.
