Each year, the Ottawa Business Journal and the Ottawa Board of Trade explore the opportunities and challenges facing local businesses.
This year, in addition to our annual business confidence index, the Welch Business Growth Survey will unpack the barriers to growth for Ottawa businesses, as well as their plans for the future.
We’ll be looking at the survey results from several perspectives, including location of the company, stage of growth, size, and industry.
