Many Benefits of Being a Licensed Local Business
Getting a business licence is a great investment in your company — and a relatively small one at that. A business licence tells your customers you run a legitimate business that complies with local laws and regulations. It also provides access to tax breaks, funding opportunities and support programs.
Business Licences Help Secure Grant Funding
Did you know that business licence data helps the County track regional stats? This data is critical when applying for provincial and federal grant funding to inject back into the local business community.
Business Licence Resources
A licence helps certify that a business like a restaurant or pharmacy is operating safely. But what about smaller operations like a home-based consultancy or a tradesperson for hire?
It's common for some small businesses to fly under the radar, but they often short-change themselves in the long run. Below is a list of the reasons we recommend a licence for any company selling their goods and services in the Lac Ste. Anne region.
