Younger Canadians aspire for own businesses

One fifth of Canadians are thinking about starting up their own business within the next five years

One-third (32%) of Canadians who don’t own a business like the idea of being their own boss and one-fifth (20%) are thinking about starting up their own business within the next five years, according to the most recent RBC Canadian Consumer Outlook.
“Considering 12 per cent of Canadians are currently self-employed, seeing another 20 per cent interested in being their own boss is indeed significant,” said Mike Michell, national director, Small Business, RBC.
