Open for Business (OFB)


We are part of an international network of youth-friendly, walk-in centres designed to expose people to entrepreneurship and to provide assistance to those interested in starting their own business.
  • We help introduce you to entrepreneurship as a viable career choice

  • We encourage and jump-start ideas

  • We link you to community resources

  • We provide ongoing support and motivation

  • One on one entrepreneurial assistance
Open for Business is a dynamic environment where you can discover, develop and fine-tune your business ideas and skills. We can help you take that great idea and turn it into an exciting entrepreneurial adventure.

When you visit OFB, you'll notice our dynamic colors. We're dynamic too! We're proud of our many contacts and we're not afraid to show it. They're all on our "Wall of Fame" to encourage you to jump right in! Our door is always open. Our place is your space. Use it for meetings, interviews and lots more.

Talk to one of our Entrepreneurship Apprentice (EA’s). We’ll help you identify the "next step" & "how to’s" of opening and running a business.

Entrepreneurs love to learn new things. That's why OFB believes in the 'learn on demand' principle. What do you need to know? Our workshops help you fine-tune your ideas and learn about most aspects of operating your own business.

OFB has a unique outreach program that can be specially tailored to meet the needs of individual schools, classrooms and community groups. We've already been in hundreds of classrooms from primary to university. Call today and invite us into your classroom (902) 436-7200.
