One of the most valuable items a business owner can have is a business plan. There are many different ways to write a business plan and many companies go out of business for not having a clear target in their business plan. A business plan is also a necessity, if you are seeking bank financing for your new business. Banks have a vested interest in ensuring that, when you approach them, your business plan includes the information they need to make a decision on financing your project. Consequently, many Canadian banks provide tools to help you develop your business plan.

Companies established in Canada

If your business has

1. five or more employees and
2. annual sales of $500,000 or more,

you may qualify for a grant of up to 50% of eligible costs incurred to develop export sales.

If the goods you need for your business are unavailable in this country or cost less in others, then you may want to import them. Importing commercial goods into Canada is a regulated activity.
