Small Business Ideas

If we were to sing a song praising BC small business ideas, we'd have challenges. "Hugely important to the BC small business sector, which comprises 90 per cent of BC's economy," is a devilish line to rhyme, for one. A person motivated by small business ideas might end his next stanza "Deuteronomy" or "taxonomy," but, good gravy, few melodies can bear such weight. Also, they're not about small business ideas in BC. However you scan the rhyme or amplify your voice, keep time with BCBusiness for its euphonious mix of reporting and commentary on small business ideas in BC.
