Accelerating Small Business Growth in Canada: The Virtual Gurus and Mastercard® Partnership

At Virtual Gurus, we’ve always been committed to delivering top-tier remote admin support to our clients and flexible income opportunities to traditionally underrepresented communities. Partnering with Mastercard®, a global leader renowned for its innovative solutions, marks a significant milestone in that journey. Together, we’re bringing the ultimate small business solution right to your doorstep.

A partnership rooted in diversity, inclusivity, and equity

The partnership between Virtual Gurus and Mastercard isn’t just about business—it’s about championing diversity, inclusivity, and equity. As we strategically scale, we remain steadfast in our mission to support Indigenous, First Nations and Métis communities, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, and female entrepreneurs traditionally facing employment barriers. Our partnership aims to uplift entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and identities.

Small business owners are often stretched for resources, including IT and skilled talent. We have partnered with leading cybersecurity and virtual talent providers to help Canadian entrepreneurs increase their digital safety and onboard talent that allows them to focus on growth. Through these partnerships and other savings programs, we are connecting Mastercard small business cardholders with valued resources and creating crucial cost savings for their businesses.
