Starting A Business in Canada

Learning how to start a business can be an intimidating experience. Most people dont know where to begin and therefore they never do. To make it a little easier, we have reproduced here, the Steps to Start Business developed by the government of Nfld and Labrador.

The process of starting a business is largely the same for every province with only some minor differences. Pay particular attention to Step 3 - Preparing a Business Plan. This is a key part of starting a business. Downloading our business plan template will help in this regard.

For the most part you just need to fill in the blanks. You can then use the business plan to apply for a government grant or loan for a small business, large business, or even a non profit business. We also have business consultants ready to assist you. You may then use the plan to obtain business start-up or expansion financing from a bank.

When you are ready to start applying for Canadian government grants for your business remember that we provide information on business grants, low or no interest loans, tax rebates and other financial incentives. We also link you to online applicatons. We also notify you of new programs, and offer priority assistance from qualified business professionals across the country. For now start your business planning process by clicking on Step 1 to the left. Enjoy.
