Quote: 11:36: “Access to capital is not about finding just traditional sources of capital because if you look at the $1.3 trillion lent in Canada in the 3rd quarter, 60% was from the banks, but 40% was from alternative lenders.” - Shilpa Mishra 20:40: “I would say to the entrepreneurs and the business owners, and leaders listening, an advisor can be your advocate. Most of the time I am my client's advocate.” - Shilpa Mishra Websites: https://www.bdo.ca/insights/women-driving-growth Social media handles: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shilpa-mishra-cpa-mba-0181257/ Instagram: @BDO_Canada Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BDOCanada
