Business Takeout is a national nonprofit social enterprise dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs in economically challenged communities. We provide accessible business education, practical resources, mentorship, and community support to help individuals turn their ideas into sustainable businesses.
We offer a range of programs designed to support aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs, including:
The Takeout Bag Campaign, which provides step-by-step business resources and mentorship.
The Break Free Business Pathway Program for single mothers, combining life skills, mental health support, and business education.
Specialized workshops, mentorship opportunities, and networking events.
Our programs are primarily designed for individuals living in economically challenged or underserved communities across Canada. Some programs may have specific eligibility criteria (such as the Break Free Business Pathway Program for single mothers). Please check individual program pages for details.
Visit the Programs section of our website, select the program you’re interested in, and follow the application instructions provided. If you have questions or need assistance, you can contact us directly through our Contact Us page.
