Become an EF Client

Entrepreneurs throughout Atlantic Canada have benefited from the EF Advantage.  You can too. 

The EF program is designed to help individual entrepreneurs address specific business challenges through objective advice from experienced businessmen and women.

There is no charge for EF Advisory Sessions.  All costs are absorbed by EF contributors, corporate sponsors and supporters.  Any entrepreneur facing a challenge at any stage of business is eligible to apply.  The requirements are that the entrepreneur have:

  • an innovative business /innovative business idea
  • a clear business proposal
  • potential for business growth

and that they be

  • willing to listen to realistic advice 

Sessions are informal, confidential, conversational, and frank.

The EF Advantage starts with meeting a member of the EF team in your region.  During this consultation session, the entrepreneur and EF staff work together to define challenges and develop materials for the Advisors to consider.  If the meeting determines that the entrepreneur is not ready to get the best benefit from the Advisory Session, staff will refer to other resources in the community to assist.

All materials submitted to EF are confidential. In some cases, clients may request their own confidentiality agreements to be completed prior to the review of business materials.
