| Find out how your business
stacks up against others.
One of the findings contained in a BC Chamber of Commerce report, “Moving
Forward: The vision of B.C. Business,” was that businesses didn’t
know how well they were doing when compared to world class leaders and
managers since comparative information of this type was unavailable.
In response, the LMDC spearheaded the development of an online, self-assessment
tool designed to help small business owners and managers measure their
abilities, assess their skill development needs and improve their performance.
The online tool enables business owners to assess their abilities in
such “hard skill” areas as financial management, human resources
management, and marketing, as well as in the “soft skills”
areas of leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, and communication.
Funding for the development of the online assessment tool
was provided by Western Economic Diversification Canada and the provincial
Ministry of Small Business and Economic Development.
Easy to use
The Small Business Check-up involves a simple, four-step process:
- 1. Complete the questionnaire
- 2. Compare your responses with other small businesses in B.C.
- 3. Identify opportunities for improvement
- 4. Prepare or update your action plan
