“As a young entrepreneur, how do I go about securing the financing and resources I need to buy an existing business?”

Undertaking a business transfer project is no simple matter, especially when you don’t have the necessary funds. Such was the case for Guillaume Boulianne, a young Innu entrepreneur from Mashteuiatsh, who acquired the Distribution Voltimage company in January 2020. But his story as a buyer didn’t happen on its own!

It was while conducting extensive research for support and financing resources that this young entrepreneur discovered the services of the First Nations of Quebec and Labrador Economic Development Commission (FNQLEDC), which allowed him to make his project a reality.

The FNQLEDC communicated with Mr. Boulianne, CEO of the Distribution Voltimage company for four years now, to learn more about his story and his journey.

Watch our exclusive interview (in French only), which was filmed as part of the FNQLEDC’s series of success stories in Quebec’s Indigenous communities, in the following video:
