RESEARCHING A SMALL BUSINESS IN CANADA

The sixth edition of our popular research guide is now available.

This year's issue is nearly 1000 pages in length and includes over 6000 references and the latest information on the 2001 Census.  It also includes a February 2003 update.

Time and money are at a premium for all new entrepreneurs. Researching a Small Business helps you save both.

Each chapter focuses on a different key aspect of researching a small business in Canada. All advice is straight forward and to the point. The sources identified are practical, accessible and most importantly cost effective (that means FREE in most cases!).
