🚨 60% of MB small business owners plan to exit their business in the next decade, but just 3% have a formal succession plan.
With over $2 trillion in assets at risk nationally, succession planning has never been more important.

🤝 Great to meet with Councillor Emma Durand-Wood, seeking re-election in Elmwood–East Kildonan.
Appreciated the chance to discuss small business concerns & priorities for Winnipeg City Council. Thanks for taking time to listen to the perspectives of Winnipeg’s small firms!
MB municipal elections are coming up on Oct. 28! 🗳️ With just over a week to go, what are small business owners telling candidates?
From property taxes & red tape to public safety & construction concerns, municipal decisions matter to small firms. Their voices need to be heard!

💳Lower interchange fees could mean thousands in annual savings for more small businesses. But Visa and Mastercard are raising other fees, potentially clawing back some of those savings. Small businesses need real relief, not new fees that eat into it.

Crime is one of the top concerns we hear from Manitoba small businesses. A dedicated Crown unit for retail theft and property crime is a welcome initiative. We hope all parties can work together to take action!

La Parfumerie’s situation is about more than one business. It highlights a broader issue with municipal policy: not every small business operates in the same way, so a one-size-fits-all approach to zoning doesn’t always work. ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/…

🎙️A perfect case showing how municipal red tape can have very real consequences for small firms.
La Parfumerie is just one example of why municipal rules should consider the size, nature & actual impact of a business. I joined @CBCManitoba to discuss. youtube.com/watch?v=HtFeWERK…

Now that ballots are set ahead of the civic election next month -- it's up to Winnipeggers to decide what candidates best align with their top priorities. Global's Teagan Rasche spoke to business leaders to find out what they need to thrive over the next 4 years.
Manitoba small business confidence slips again. "Wages were the most common cost pressure for Manitoba small businesses this month, cited by 71% of owners. Tax & regulatory costs followed at 63%, with fuel costs close behind at 61%." via @winnipegsun winnipegsun.com/news/manitob…
It was great to meet with St. James candidate Tyler Crichton and St. Boniface candidate Sylvie Schmitt, both running for City Council, to discuss CFIB’s small business platform!
The message from local businesses is clear: tackle rising costs, cut red tape, improve safety and limit construction disruptions. Read our platform here: cfib-fcei.ca/hubfs/advocacy/…
