The following is the full press release. Canadian entrepreneurs are more likely to run their new business venture outside their home. These survey results may have to do with the types of businesses Canadians are starting.
Retailing is the most popular business activity among all new entrepreneurs.
Although there was little variation between men and women in where they chose to set up their office, there was a clear gender distinction in business preference. Among women, retail was by far the business of choice. The second most common business venture researched by Canadian women was a Business Service firm. For both men and women, restaurants generated the least interest among business start-ups.
