Question

Starting a new business: location matters

My new year’s resolution is to go out on my own in 2010 and open up my own business.  I recall seeing a list of business start-up ‘friendly’ cities. Does anyone know where I can find this list?

    Check out the Kanetix.ca article, “Which cities are tops for starting a small business?,” which features a list of exactly what you are looking for. You can find by clicking on the following link: http://www.kanetix.ca/insurance-business-top-Canadian-cities-for-small-business

    This list was compiled from information published through the Canadian Federation of Independent Business: http://www.cfib-fcei.ca

    Thanks!

    I had another question if that’s ok? Is it true that if I work from home, my home insurance won’t cover my business? This doesn’t sound right.

    It’s true, unless your home insurer is aware that you operate a business out of your home, your business won’t be covered.

    Check out the article found on the Kanetix.ca site titled, “The #1 home-based business insurance myth”.

    You can also find more information about business insurance at the Insurance Bureau of Canada website: ibc.ca
