FedEx is giving away $150,000 in total cash prizes to Canadian small businesses

It’s not always easy being a small business owner.

In fact, according to FedEx research,* 55% of small business leaders in Canada who are currently shipping products are concerned about their company’s financial performance in 2024.  

Whatever business stressors are keeping you up at night, FedEx understands, and more importantly, they want to help.

While FedEx is committed to helping smaller Canadian businesses grow and thrive year-round, in light of this information, the company wants to make an even bigger impact. After all, when local economies thrive, we all thrive.

To show appreciation for small businesses across Canada, FedEx is giving away $150,000 in total cash prizes as part of the easy-to-enter 2024 FedEx #BackingSmall Business Contest.**
