Angst spoke about determin- ing the risks and rewards of set- ting up.a small business, different financial vehicles used to help pay for business, business plan- ning and structuring and business, among various topics. Mr. Harold Wilson, a business consultant from the ministry office in Thunder Bay was on hand to answer specific questions which participants may have had. : A short presentation was made by a forestry specialist of the Sudbury-based Resource Technology Centre. The centre is a venture capital company. This means this company invests in small businesses in the natural resource industry (i.e. forestry, mines). The centre also provides finan- cial support for these small busi- nesses at a competitive rate. After several years, the small business buys itself back from the compa- ny. The man, Mr. Wilson, hopes to be opening a permanent branch of the Resource Technology Centre in Thunder Bay within the next year. Several handouts and pam- phlets were given to participants, including the application for the New Ventures guaranteed loan for small businesses. Entrepreneurs can borrow up to $15,000 at a competitive rate to help get their small business off the ground. Another useful resource given to all participants was the min- istry's publication Starting A Small Business In Ontario. This seminar was sponsored by the Aguasabon Chamber of Commerce.
