Shopping where you live has a huge impact on the local economy. Your support can be far-reaching as every dollar spent locally gets circulated 3 or 4 more times ensuring your money stays in the community. While it’s not always possible to buy everything you need locally, finding a balance between e-commerce sites and buying locally can be a step in the right direction. Today’s podcast features Leigh Taylor, Licensed Insolvency Trustee and Bruce Duggan, Associate Professor of Management at Providence Buller School of Business. Bruce and Leigh discuss what it means to the local economy of locally owned businesses. 

Their discussion also covers:

• Advantages of buying local and how to support local businesses
• The price local economies pay for the convenience of online shopping
• Possibility of a recession in Canada
• The high level of consumer debt - rising 5-6% per year
• Advantages of dealing with a local Licensed Insolvency Trustee

If you are having financial difficulties, whether business or personal, talking to a local Licensed Insolvency Trustee should be your first call. You will have the opportunity to meet them face to face in your initial consultation and be assured they are knowledgeable about provincial regulations.
