From transitioning out of traditional jobs to building businesses that align with personal values, or creating side hustles to test out an idea, the motivations behind becoming your own boss are evolving—and it’s not just about the money.</p><p>In fact, 94% of aspiring entrepreneurs in Quebec cited meaningful work as their top motivation for starting a business, ranking even higher than earning more income. For Gen Z and Millennials, entrepreneurship also means creating a flexible lifestyle. </p><p>But starting a business in Canada can be both simple and challenging. Simple, because the barriers to entry are diminishing – digital tools, expert advice, and tailored resources are making it easier than ever to start a business. Challenging, because it takes a healthy dose of hard work and self-belief to launch a viable business, let alone a solid business idea and plan.</p><p>Take <a href="https://sr.studiostack.com/c/link?l=1883722&s=1883715" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Camille</a> and <a href="https://sr.studiostack.com/c/link?l=1883724&s=1883715" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Guillaume</a>, Quebec-based digital nomads who turned their passion for photography and videography into a thriving business.

We had to work harder and smarter during the last six months to make it work.”</p><p>Luckily, RBC has been there every step of the way on their journey. RBC helps entrepreneurs not just through financial support but also with tailored tools that go beyond banking, expert advice, and partnerships that extend far beyond traditional banking. </p><p>For example, one practical piece of advice that the bank shares with small business owners like Cam and Guillaume is to open a second bank account to set aside funds for your tax obligations. This simple strategy helps keep funds organized and ensures that business owners are prepared come tax season..</p><p>“It’s comforting to know I can rely on their advice and tools whenever I need support," Camille says.</p><p>If you’re a Quebecer dreaming of starting your own business, you’re not alone—and you’re in good company.
