United, Knox Presbyterian and Calvary Bap- Help here for entrepreneurs, says government official Governments are ready to help anyone who wants to start a small business - and are prepared to give them a hand getting money to do it, too. Last Thursday night, more than 40 potential en- trepreneurs crammed into the basement of the Pene- tanguishene Public Library to hear how they can get interest-free loans to start a new business. - This man means business Gary Angst, a representative of the Ministry of Trade and Technology, is shown here during a seminar held in the Penetanguishene Public Library. Angst has per- formed hundreds of such seminars, telling potential entrepreneurs how to get a small business started with government help. About 40 showed up. The speaker was Gary Angst, from the ministry of trade and technology. Angst is a veteran of several hundred such lec- tures across the province. He told the crowd there is help there when they need it, but starting a business and succeeding means a lot of hard work. "We all share the fear of making the wrong deci- sion,' Angst said at the opening of the talk. "If this seminar helps you then you've invested the time tonight wisely." "A fair number of new businesses don't make it," he went on to say. "'And a fair number give it a good shot but don't do things quite right."' "Entrepreneurship real- ly shows you what you're made of." Angst said good plann- ing is the key to success. Presenting a business plan to a banker is the first hur- dle an entrepreneur must cross. If that plan is slop- py or poorly done, no banker will loan the money, he added. "You have to give the im- pression you know how to organize yourself,' he commented. "In business, what you don't know can hurt you." But on the good side, he pointed out, "the benefits of entrepreneurship are at- tractive - independence, control, decision-making - August like July August was little dif- ferent than July in ex- tremes of temperature.

Angst then went on to describe several programs run by both the federal and provincial governments to help get new businesses off the ground. The Ventures program is one of them, he said. Loans of up to $15,000 are given with interest rates just one percentage point above the prime lending rate. "The start-up of a business has a lot to do with finances,' he said. "You want to use other people's money, and at a decent interest rate." The audience was most- ly enthusiastic, and about half expressed a strong in- terest in starting their own business. Village gets final payment Municipal Affairs Minister Bernard Grand- maitre announced on Aug. 27 the $2,250 final payment of a $15,000 community planning grant for the Village of Victoria Harbour. Grandmaitre said the grant was used by the municipality to prepare a waterfront. Community planning grants are designed to en- courage municipalities to review and update their planning programs, zoning bylaws and other planning documents. The grants may also be used for special studies on local issues such as lakeshore development or commercial development along highways, and for energy-conserving plann- ing measures. School Inc.
