Business Takeout began its journey as a Facebook group in 2018, where entrepreneurs gathered to share resources, advice, and inspiration. What started as an online community quickly transformed into a national social enterprise, hosting our first in-person event in 2019 before formally incorporating as a non-profit organization in 2020 to expand our impact across Canada.

Today, we operate as a leading business news platform spotlighting diverse voices, innovative ideas, and crucial market insights that drive economic opportunity in underserved communities. Our podcast network has featured five dynamic shows, each with a unique host and specialized focus on different aspects of entrepreneurship—from mindset and wellness to financial strategy and community impact.

Behind our media presence lies our core mission: transforming communities through entrepreneurship and economic empowerment. Business Takeout addresses both immediate needs and long-term business development through our innovative Takeout Bag Campaign, providing essential resources and business tools to aspiring entrepreneurs facing systemic barriers.

Through our four pillars of Knowledge Access, Community Engagement, Skills Development, and Media, we’re making entrepreneurship accessible to all—because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to build economic self-sufficiency through business ownership, regardless of their starting point.

Based in Ontario but with a national vision, Business Takeout continues to expand across Canada, fueling futures with knowledge, confidence, and opportunity—one entrepreneur at a time.
