Launch of Entrepreneurial Contest: Entreprendre Rue Sherbrooke Ouest
The Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Business Association, BizNDG, is proud to collaborate with PME MTL Centre-Ville and the Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Borough in the launch of the Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce entrepreneurial contests.
These Contests are part of the dynamization of Rue Sherbrooke Ouest (from the border of Westmount to boulevard Cavendish) and Chemin Queen Mary (from rue Lemieux to avenue Clanranald) and are intended to encourage the establishment of new retail businesses and the diversification of the commercial offer for existing businesses.
Rue Sherbrooke Ouest
To stimulate this important artery of the BizNDG territory, Entreprendre Sherbrooke Ouest is intended for new entrepreneurs who wish to establish a presence on Rue Sherbrooke Ouest and for retail businesses that are already present but wish to diversify their commercial offer.
The Contests offer a chance to win a number of grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, for a total of $100,000. Each winning business will benefit from a certain number of hours of personalized consultation services to increase its life span and improve the positive economic benefits of its respective projects in the borough.
Have you come up with a business idea that meets the description of the contest? There are currently vacancies waiting to be revitalized thanks to this program. For a list of available business spaces in Sherbrooke West, click in the map below.
