“Small business is the heart of our local economy and accessing these free services is a benefit to the businesses who are looking for direction on what to do next when it comes to accounting and marketing”, said Amber Darling, Executive Director of Trenval. “Our partnership with Loyalist College and Simple Desk will provide the necessary resources to continue moving businesses forward on the two topics most inquired about.”
