Women's Enterprise Initiative

Women play an important role in the creation and operation of small businesses across Canada, yet they often face barriers and a lack of support. To help remove these barriers, Western Economic Diversification Canada established the Women's Enterprise Initiative (WEI) to provide business information and services to women entrepreneurs.

The WEI has offices in each of the four western provinces. These non-profit centres provide a variety of unique products for women entrepreneurs including advisory services, training options, networking opportunities, business loans and referrals to complementary services.

Staff at each of the WEI locations can help you access traditional bank financing through the relationships WD and our WEI partners have established with several financial institutions.

For more information, contact the WEI office in your province.
