Small Business Heroes Campaign

This past year tested the resilience of many entrepreneurs. Although some signs of recovery have appeared, the challenges and losses remain fresh for countless local businesses. That’s why Startup Moncton, with support from Startup Canada Communities, launched an initiative to recognize and celebrate their perseverance.

We believe in the strength of our local entrepreneurs. Every day, small business owners take bold risks, serve our communities, and inspire others with their grit and creativity. Now, we’re calling on you to nominate a local small business that truly stands out.

🌟 How to Nominate
To participate, simply fill out our nomination form and tell us why this business deserves to be recognized. Maybe they supported frontline workers, kept staff employed, or lifted community spirits during hard times. Whatever the reason, we want to hear about it.

💡 What Happens Next
We will tally the votes, and on July 5th, Startup Moncton will announce the top five nominees. These five outstanding small businesses will receive gift baskets filled with locally made products, delivered personally by our team.

Furthermore, this initiative helps spotlight the importance of supporting local. It also brings the entrepreneurial community closer together—one story, one celebration at a time.

📣 Don’t wait! Nominate a local small business today and let’s celebrate those who keep our community strong.

The Business Model Canvas

How to Use the Business Model Canvas to Shape Your Business Strategy

If you’re planning to launch a new business, introduce a product or service, or rework your current strategy, the Business Model Canvas can be an excellent starting point. This tool offers a clear, visual way to define and structure your business model on a single page.

Originally developed by Strategyzer, the Business Model Canvas is now a global standard used by entrepreneurs, startups, and large corporations alike. It allows business owners to visualize nine key elements that form the foundation of a successful business:

  • Customer segments

  • Value propositions

  • Channels

  • Customer relationships

  • Revenue streams

  • Key resources

  • Key activities

  • Key partnerships

  • Cost structure

✅ Why Use the Business Model Canvas?

  • It helps improve focus and align your team.

  • The layout is practical, visual, and easy to use.

  • It encourages structured, strategic thinking without overwhelming you with jargon.

  • You can revise and adapt your canvas as your business grows.

At Startup Support Plus, we often recommend this tool during our business planning consultations. It’s a great foundation before building your pitch deck, applying for funding, or developing a detailed business plan.
