You need to start a business in 2024!

It’s not as expensive as you’d think to start a business

The Biz Class coaches aspiring and new business owners on how to start investing in themselves with a business

Why not expand your financial potential by starting a small business in 2024? The Biz Class coaches with the startup lean method, so starting up doesn’t break the bank.

Not every business has to be a multi-million dollar operation that scales to be a success. Securing an investor on Dragon’s Den or Shark Tank isn’t something required to start a business in Canada. Wanting to create financial independence, flexible hours, gain recognition and respect, achieve work-life balance and a meaningful product or service are perfect reasons to start.

The reality is every business starts small. All that’s required when starting up is buying a website to advertise your business online, and accounting software to manage the finances to send estimates and invoices.

Low commitment with the No-Nonsense Coaching Program

Invest in yourself by building a lean small business to increase your income

Investing in a business idea is a creative endeavour, but requires practical steps to thrive and succeed. Don’t let the unknown parts of running a business undermine the passion or drive you have to succeed as a business owner.

Instead, learn how to determine when the business idea is worth investing in by understanding if it has a market demand with the Biz Class.

The business coaching program is designed for aspiring and new business owners and entrepreneurs who want to earn extra to boost their household income or to grow into earning their current salary while running a business.
