The feature article of the May issue discusses some of the major findings of the forthcoming report Small Business Financing Profiles: SMEs in Tourism Industries. Produced by the Small Business and Tourism Branch, this report reveals that compared with businesses in non-tourism industries, businesses in tourism industries were typically younger and more growth oriented, but they were also less likely to have sufficient financing to fund their expansion plans. Following the feature story is an article that highlights the top export destinations of Canadian small businesses in 2009. This issue also includes articles on business insolvencies in Canada from 2000 and 2010, job creation by firm size and industry, and self-employment figures by education level.
