Business Start-up and Scale-up Solutions

Centennial College provides organizations with comprehensive business consulting services. Our consultants have a wealth of knowledge and experience in all facets of business across multiple sectors and they are dedicated to assisting you with your specific business needs.

The consulting service begins with a free personal consultation to determine what you require and how we can support you in your business development. We design a package of services and projects that ensure you take advantage of our resources, without spending time (and money) in areas that are not relevant to you.

We assist any domestic or foreign company that fulfills its eligibility criteria to initiate business globally (outbound) and or set up business in Canada (inbound). We also assist in linking these companies to Venture Capitalists, Angels, Incubators, Accelerators and other funding sources, both in Canada and overseas.
