Nov 8, 2007

    TORONTO, Nov. 8 /CNW/ - Given all the struggles private companies say
they have with raising adequate financing, you'd be surprised to learn there
are millions and millions of dollars available to Canadian businesses, free of
charge and just for the asking. In the latest "Business Coach" podcast, James
Perly of James Perly Consulting Inc., a provider of government grant lobbying
and consulting services, will be joining Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT
magazine, to help shed some light on these underappreciated sources of
capital-government grants, tax credits, IRAP and SRED.
    Rated as one of the top podcasts available for download during the run of
its first episode on Apple iTunes, the new Business Coach episodes offer new
insight and information in an updated format to help small business owners run
their business better. Since October of 2007 podcast episodes have been
regularly available on iTunes, as well as on bmo.com and PROFITguide.com.

Outlook," "Building an advisory board," "Family business," Personal finance,"
"Better Workplaces," and "Social Media." Further episodes are scheduled for
release on November 20th, as well as December 4th and 18th.
