@coolopolis: #business #wealth #entrepreneur #Montreal #Quebec U COULD KEEP YOUR DAY JOB— START A BUSINESS IN QUEBEC— AND END UP FILTHY RICH. A MANSION IN WESTMOUNT. DINNER AT THE RITZ EVERY NIGHT. AND THERE'S MONEY AVAILABLE TO HELP YOU GET STARTED. FUTURPRENEUR STARTED 30 YEARS AGO. IT'S PROVIDED 259 MILLION DOLLARS IN STARTUP LOANS— AND HELPED LAUNCH MORE THAN 16 THOUSAND BUSINESSES ACROSS CANADA. IT CAN LEND YOU UP TO 75 THOUSAND DOLLARS— IF YOU'RE BETWEEN 18 AND 39 AND QUALIFY. IT ALSO HAS A SIDE-HUSTLE PROGRAM— SO YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DAY JOB. PME MTL OFFERS BUSINESS LOANS OF UP TO 300 THOUSAND DOLLARS. QUEBEC'S LOCAL INVESTMENT FUNDS— CAN PROVIDE UP TO 150 THOUSAND. THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT BANK OF CANADA— OFFERS STARTUP FINANCING TOO. THERE'S ALSO MICROCRÉDIT MONTRÉAL— FOR SMALLER LOANS. THIS IS THE TIME TO JUMP. QUEBEC NEEDS ENTREPRENEURS. WE'RE RUNNING OUT. VANCOUVER— 2.9 PERCENT OF PEOPLE ARE ENTREPRENEURS. TORONTO— 2.7 PERCENT. MONTREAL— JUST 1.8 PERCENT. QUEBEC CITY— 1.5 PERCENT. TORONTO HAS 50 PERCENT MORE ENTREPRENEURS PER PERSON THAN MONTREAL. QUEBEC'S ENTREPRENEUR RATE HAS FALLEN ALMOST 50 PERCENT IN TWENTY YEARS. THAT LEAVES AN OPENING FOR SOMEBODY WITH AMBITION. 57 PERCENT OF NEW QUEBEC BUSINESSES IN ONE STUDY— SURVIVED FIVE YEARS. BUT IF YOU BOUGHT AN EXISTING BUSINESS— THE FIVE-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE WAS 80 PERCENT. FOUR OUT OF FIVE. YOU COULD BUY A BUSINESS. OR START YOUR OWN. A CLEANING COMPANY. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. LANDSCAPING. A COMMERCIAL LAUNDRY. AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP. SOMETHING WITH CUSTOMERS WHO KEEP COMING BACK. MIKE JAGER AND SAM TSOUMAS— BUILT ROSEFELLOW INTO A MAJOR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPER. IAN QUINT— BUILT BRASSWATER INTO A REAL ESTATE EMPIRE. ANDREW LUTFY— BUILT GROUPE DYNAMITE INTO A MULTIBILLION-DOLLAR FASHION BUSINESS. ÉTIENNE LACROIX— STARTED VENTION IN MONTREAL TEN YEARS AGO. IT JUST RAISED 150 MILLION DOLLARS. PHILIPPE ST-JEAN AND JULIEN CAMIRAND LEMYRE— STARTED NORD QUANTIQUE IN SHERBROOKE IN 2020. SIX YEARS LATER— THE COMPANY'S VALUED AT TWO BILLION DOLLARS. YOU START A LITTLE BUSINESS. GET TEN CUSTOMERS. THEN A HUNDRED. THEN A THOUSAND. HIRE PEOPLE. OPEN ANOTHER LOCATION. AND ONE DAY SOMEBODY OFFERS YOU TEN MILLION DOLLARS TO BUY THE WHOLE THING. OR FIFTY MILLION. YOU COULD LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT. BUT YOU COULD ALSO BUILD A FORTUNE. A CHALET IN MONT-TREMBLANT. A FERRARI PARKED OUT FRONT. SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET RICH IN QUEBEC. WHY SHOULDN'T IT BE YOU?
