Emergence financial Partner, Grant Thornton, together with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is inviting private businesses to step into the spotlight with the 2018 Private Business Growth Award.
Now in its sixth year, this prestigious award is open to private businesses registered and operating in Canada for three full years as of Dec. 31, 2017, and with annual revenues of at least $5 million.
It’s easy to apply, or to nominate a business in your community – and it could pay off in a big way tomorrow.
The Private Business Growth Award is a platform for recognition, exposure and networking that can help take Canadian private businesses to the next level.
What does it take to get to the Top 10?
A jury of eight dynamic Canadian business leaders look for success stories that go beyond the basics of good business management. They’re inspired by strategic, sustainable growth in one or more of the following areas:
If you’ve developed new products, processes or services that led to significant economic benefits, you’re an innovator. Tell us how you applied new thinking to an old problem, and how this fueled your growth story.
Chances are you identified a new market opportunity as part of your growth strategy. Tell us how you attracted new customers and/or launched new product or business lines within Canada or internationally.
Recognizing that a positive workplace culture is key to success, tell us how you invest in training and development to help your employees perform at their best, while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
This is your chance to highlight the strengths and capabilities of your leadership team, and any innovations related to strategic planning, succession planning, stakeholder relations and organizational structure. We would also like to hear about your company’s impact on the community through charitable or industry initiatives.
Revenue and profitability is a quantifiable indicator of success and this information must be included as part of your submission. Data tables can be appended.
The deadline to apply is July 12, 2018.
The Top 10 Finalists will be announced in early October. The awards ceremony takes place at a gala event in Toronto on November 28th, 2018.
