Women Entrepreneur Incentive

BACKSTORY:

At Sage West Boutique we are passionate about small business and community. We started this business in 2020 in hopes of bringing western fashion more to life in Canada, and creating awareness about what it means to be a woman in agriculture. While starting our business we ran into many obstacles on the journey- all of which have been amazing learning experiences. We know that some business resources are not easily found or available to everyone, which is why we hope to share some tips and tricks. We are by no means experts and are constantly learning, but we think what we have learned up to this point can be really helpful for a starting entrepreneur. We hope to give back in order to help other young women like us who have big business dreams!


Each year Sage West Boutique gives back to women who are either starting a business or want to scale up a previous business. Preference goes to women who are either in a rural setting or have connections to the agricultural lifestyle. This business can be in any industry and any idea is considered. 


HOW IT WORKS:

A portion of all sales are combined and paid out to the successful applicant each year. The amount given is based on sales and volume. The successful applicant will also receive a “handbook” of the things we’ve learned and tips and tricks of the business world.
