    Number of home-based businesses

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the number of home-based businesses operating in the region.

    Why we collect it

    With a small, highly dispersed population and a large landmass, our local economy has always been dependent on the success of entrepreneurs. Encouraging further growth begins with support of small, home-based businesses. Monitoring this indicator will allow us to gauge our success in supporting home-based businesses in the County of Frontenac.

    Unfortunately we have not yet been able to find data for this indicator. The ICSP is a living document that relies on input from the community to continue to grow. We welcome any suggestions on data sources for this indicator, new ways to define the indicator that would be more measurable, or suggestions for alternative indicators for this focus area.
