About Canada Business

Our goal is to help your business grow and succeed through streamlined access to reliable, up-to-date information and services tailored to your needs. Canada Business strives to:

  • reduce the complexity of dealing with multiple levels of government
  • consolidate business information in one convenient service
  • enable you to make well-informed business decisions in a global economy
  • contribute to your success through sound business planning, market research and the use of strategic business information

Canada Business is committed to providing you with a wide range of information on government services, programs and regulations relevant to existing and potential business entrepreneurs.

We deliver our services through an organized network of service centres across Canada, one in each province and territory. Moreover, each centre works with partners in many other communities in their regions providing you with numerous service access points.

Canada Business is the result of long-term joint funding and cooperative service arrangements amongst the federal, provincial and territorial governments and, in some cases, the private sector. This translates into seamless services delivered to you in all regions across Canada.
