Stats Pack 2010-5 added

I just uploaded a new Stats Pack.  You can access it here.  It covers the following topics:


1. Canadian Small Businesses and their “Green Plans”


2. Average number of government claims and forms submitted by Canadian SMEs


3. Percentage change in employment during recession (Q3 2009-Q4 2009) by firm size


4. % of Canadians planning to start a small business said the recession has not deflated their plans


5. Most important IT improvements needed for 2010 as identified by Canadian SME


Given the number of entrepreneurs that were deflated by the recession, one has to wonder about the long-term outlook for entrepreneurship in Canada. The wind was definitely taken out of a lot sails. Hopefully people are simply waiting for “better weather” and have not given up entirely!


New Stats Pack now available (2010-4)

I have added another Stats Pack.  The difference between the  number  of entrants into vs. exits from entrepreneurship during the recent downturn was impressive!

The following topics are covered:

1. Self-employment in Canada by age and gender (October 2009)

2. Average amount Canadian entrepreneurs spend on business banking fees per month

3. Median amount of financing approved by size of business  (2003 vs.2009)

4. Incidence of minimum wage-jobs by firm employee-size (2009)

5. Entry into and exit out of self-employment (October 2008 – October 2009)
