Small Business Week is a time to recognize and celebrate the vital contributions that small and medium-sized businesses make to the economy and communities of Newfoundland and Labrador. At Wedgwood Insurance, we believe in championing the hard work, resilience, and dedication of local entrepreneurs who continue to innovate and drive the region forward.

The Heartbeat of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Economy

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They create jobs, support families, and enhance the local culture through diverse offerings. In Newfoundland and Labrador, small and medium-sized businesses contribute significantly to economic growth and play a crucial role in shaping the province’s social fabric.

From the bustling storefronts in downtown St. John’s to the family-run operations in rural communities, these businesses support local initiatives, invest in regional development, and contribute to the province’s unique identity. During Small Business Week, we celebrate their achievements and reinforce our commitment to being their trusted insurance partner.

The Importance of a Trusted Insurance Partner

When running a small business, having a reliable insurance partner isn’t just necessary—it’s essential to success. Business owners must navigate various challenges, from regulatory changes to evolving market demands. Amidst these uncertainties, insurance provides peace of mind and allows us to focus on growth and innovation.
