 My name is Kaya Sidowski and I'm one of the owners of Valkyrie Western Martial Arts Assembly. So we've used a number of Small Business BC products and services. We started out having our business plan reviewed prior to applying for a number of business loans. We were finalists in the Small Business BC Awards in 2015 and we also recently participated in a meet-up for entrepreneurs in the health and fitness industries. The biggest benefit of being in the Small Business BC Awards, we expected it to be exposure and that was very helpful, but actually having to go through the award process itself and specifically having to give a presentation that really centered on our values as a business gave us a really important opportunity to to focus in on our mission and to really build some clarity about how we wanted to run things and how we were going to move forward and it ended up really contributing to our business planning for the next six to eight months and it's actually really changed our marketing and some of our teaching direction as well and for the better. The best advice I can give is to ask for help and to talk to people who know more than you do. Every single time that we've reached out to professionals, whether it's been lawyers or accountants or the people here at Small Business BC, we've learned information that has made our lives substantially easier and less expensive as entrepreneurs.
