Small businesses are a crucial part of Alberta's economy. They provide vital goods and services to a wide range of industries and consumers, helping our province grow and expand.

Alberta is home to thousands of these businesses, in communities across the province. Alberta also has many self-employed individuals. To the extent these individuals do not have paid employees, they are considered distinct from small businesses.
