The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce assists small and home-based businesses with a day-long workshop Feb. 25.

The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce has been connecting with the local business community for 108 years now and by far some of their favourite start-up stories are from those who could be described as ‘accidental entrepreneurs’ – regular people with little to no business experience, who nonetheless have an idea or product they feel compelled to bring to market.

The nature of small business often means you have to be your own accountant, lawyer, bookkeeper, marketing and social media team at the same time as you satisfy your financier, customers, yourself and often your family members.

In essence: be all things to all people from conception onward. That’s a big ask for someone venturing into a new world, let alone for those with an established business background. The Chamber aims to assist small and home-based business people who are struggling to keep up with all these expectations.
