    Historique

    The Business Development Branch was created in 1996 within the Business Development and Tourism Division of the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism. It replaced the Small Business and Domestic Operations Branch.

    Originally, the branch consisted of the following sections: Entrepreneurship Development; the Canada-Ontario Business Call Centre; and Innovative Growth Firm Support. The branch also maintained regional offices in Barrie, Hamilton, Huntsville, Mississauga, North York, St. Catharines, Kingston, Ottawa, Peterborough, Hanover, Kitchener, London and Windsor.

    Beginning in 1994, a key focus of the Branch became to support leading growth firms by creating and partnering with sponsors to host the annual Wisdom Exchange for the CEOs of these firms. From 1997 to 2000 the Branch was known as the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Branch to indicate its focus on serving entrepreneurship needs and innovative growth firms. Between 1998 and 2004, the Branch was also known as the Innovation and Business Development Branch. In 1999, the Branch launched the Innovators Alliance, which is a year round membership-based, non-profit corporation that promotes CEO networking. The Ministry initially provided funding for this corporation. In 2005, the Branch was renamed the Entrepreneurship and Field Services Branch, and it included a Business Development unit.

    As of 2006, the Branch has been known as the Business Advisory Services Branch within the Small and Medium Enterprise Division of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade.
