WHAT IS ONTARIO SMALL BUSINESS NETWORK?<br />
<strong>Ontario</strong> <strong>Small</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Network</strong><br />
(OSBN) is founded by e-presence<br />
Consultants Inc., and was initially<br />
started in July 2010 as a project to<br />
help promote the services of e-<br />
presence Consultants Inc.<br />
It took two years to build the<br />
network and get it out on search<br />
engines, and by then small<br />
business owners were starting to<br />
develop interest in using the free<br />
online tool that had potential to<br />
connect them with other like<br />
minded business owners and allow<br />
them the chance to increase<br />
visibility and promote their<br />
products and services. By end of<br />
2012, there were a little over 500<br />
registered members using the<br />
platform. In January 2013 plans<br />
were in the making to bring a more<br />
human aspect to the small business<br />
community that is now ready to<br />
function actively in the real world.<br />
In June 2013, OSBN called for its<br />
first small business networking,<br />
professionally structured, event.<br />
The small business community was<br />
ready for that announcement and<br />
20 small business owners attended.<br />
Since then, and in a one years<br />
period, 10 events were held and<br />
reputation was built for OSBN<br />
Group events to be professional<br />
and value added for the small<br />
business. June 2014 happens to<br />
be OSBN’s events 1 st anniversary;<br />
one year of building business<br />
connections for OSBN members.<br />
