At last week’s Entrepreneurship 101 lecture, Steven White from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce discussed the importance of an entrepreneur developing a strong relationship with their banker. There are many ways in which your bank can help you, but there are limits, particularly when it comes to the need for credit versus equity investment.

Question of the Week
How well does the Canadian banking industry serve the entrepreneurial community? Has your bank been helpful in creating, financing and growing your company?
