Simplifying business for entrepreneurs

CPB Venture helps you generate a personalized list of the business documents you need for the levels of government—local, provincial/territorial, and federal—you may have to deal with in order to grow or start up your business. And if you are already operating, CPB Venture can help you verify that you have all the correct permits and licences.
You can access CPB Venture by clicking on the link to the proper page on the websites of participating governments. There you’ll find a Q&A wizard that walks you through the business permit and licence process. Simply answer the questions and CPB Venture will provide the business permit and licence information specific to your business. Designed for maximum convenience, CPB Venture can significantly reduce the amount of time you would otherwise have spent on research.
