TORONTO, Ont. — COVID-19 continues to disrupt the Canadian economy, and it's being increasingly felt by small business owners.
Monday, in light of of the challenges and uncertainty, Advocis, the Financial Advisors Association of Canada, inspired by the Ontario government's recently launched “Ontario Together” program, launched a free online service to connect owners with advisors who can assist in figuring out government relief programs for which they may be eligible.
“Through Advocis Connect, we are working with our 13,000+ members across Canada to live up to those words, and dedicating resources within our association to coordinate them effectively so that small business owners across the country can weather this unprecedented storm," President and CEO Greg Pollock stated in a news release.
Through a simple online form, small business owners in every province and territory can submit their contact information, after which they will be paired with a volunteer financial advisor in their area within 1-2 business days. The form and more information are available at info.advocis.ca/advocis-connect.
