Articles and reports: 18-001-X2024004Description: Assessing the economic impact of Accelerated Growth Service program participants is an analysis conducted by Centre for Special Business Projects (CSBP) of Statistics Canada for the Accelerated Growth Service (AGS) to study the impact of the advisory services AGS provides to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Using the AGS client dataset and comparable non-clients, CSBP examined the performance of the client to determine whether AGS advisory services had a significant impact on business performance. The performance metrics compared were revenue growth, employment growth, profits growth, exports/revenue growth and R&D expenditure growth. Performance measures were assessed for each cohort separately. This analysis includes data from 2017 to 2019.
