Ontario. Small and Medium Enterprise Division

• Division des petites et moyennes entreprises

• Small and Medium Enterprise Division

The Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) was established in 2004 as part of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade. The new Division inherited some of its functions from its predecessor division, the Corporate and Field Services Division. In 2006, the Division became part of the newly formed Ministry of Small Business and Entrepreneurship and, from 2008 to 2009, was part of the Ministry of Small Business and Consumer Services. From 2010 to 2011, the Division joined the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade and, in 2012, was part of the Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation.

The Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Division championed the small business community and enabled the development of SME firms along a continuum of growth to long-term economic prosperity, from the start-up entrepreneur to the innovative, growth-oriented company. Working in partnership with private sector stakeholders and all levels of government, this included: providing policy and research support services on SME and business competitive issues to the Ontario government; providing information, advice and services to Ontario growth firms, communities, business networks and other regional development stakeholders; promoting and encouraging entrepreneurship as a viable career option and assisting new entrepreneurs in the evaluation and process of start-up; promoting entrepreneurial skills, qualities and opportunities to Ontario's youth; and promoting adoption of e-business, new technologies and broadband regional access.
