Join BDC (Business Development Bank) on November 28 for a live webinar, titled  Hungry for growth: How to increase sales for your F&B business.  During the 1-hour session, BDC’s Senior Business Advisors look at how to identify the right growth avenues for food and beverage businesses—specifically those who manufacture food, beverages or are wholesalers. This could mean tapping into new food trends, diversifying their product line or even entering new markets. This is especially timely given the upcoming changes to  Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR)  for companies that import, export interprovincially or internationally, and that sell directly to consumers. Here’s the target URL to the webinar registration page: :  https://www.bdc.ca/en/articles-tools/entrepreneur-toolkit/webinars/pages/hungry-for-growth-how-to-increase-sales-for-your-fb-business.aspx
