Entrepreneurship

Support for immigrants starting a business in Montreal

1 in 3 immigrants is an entrepreneur – are you one of them?

If you already owned a business in your country of origin or if you are looking to offer a service that’s not yet available in Quebec, we can offer guidance.

Familiarize yourself with Quebec’s entrepreneurial landscape

PROMIS offers a variety of services to inform you about your business ideas.

  • Information about the entrepreneurial system in Quebec and Montreal: financial players, target clientele, business registration, business plan, labour norms, etc.
  • Themed workshops on specialized topics related to entrepreneurship and running a business
  • Networking with other members of Montreal’s business community
  • Referrals to our business development partners for longer-term support and referral to appropriate ressources.

In additional to entrepreneurial guidance, you will also be directed towards other services as needed, such as French courses and family support.

INFORMING YOURSELF ABOUT BUSINESS is
the way to go

The only entrepreneurship information program in Quebec designed exclusively for immigrants.

  • Understand Quebec’s entrepreneurial landscape
  • Stay up to date on news related to entrepreneurship and business management
