BANK LAUNCHES SMALL BUSINESS SOFTWARE
By Adnews Staff
The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce is kicking off Small Business Week 1996 this week by launching a software package for owners of Canadian small businesses. Called Business Focus, the product walks users through small business planning by assessing a business and setting goals. It includes information on how to create a business plan. It also shows users how to prepare over 25 financial and statistical company reports. The product is currently available across Canada, except in Quebec where it will be released within the next two weeks. Print ads for the software began running nationally yesterday in the Globe and Mail's Small Business Week supplement. A larger national print campaign will begin within the next month. Padulo Integrated Inc. of Toronto is handling the advertising.
