We empower women by opening pathways to business ownership through the acquisition of existing enterprises. This first-of-its-kind national initiative provides tailored capital, expert guidance, and a supportive ecosystem—helping women confidently take the reins of established businesses, thrive as owners, and fuel growth that strengthens Canada’s economy.
A platform to accelerate women’s ownership journeys
Women remain underrepresented in business ownership due to barriers like limited networks, capital, and role models. Meanwhile, thousands of Canadian business owners are preparing to retire—creating a rare opportunity to advance gender equality in business ownership. The Thrive Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition Fund bridges this gap with the tools, expertise, and capital women need to succeed in search, buyouts or self-funded acquisitions.
