Why it is so important to support small business in your local community! Small business is big in Canada: 98.2% of all businesses have fewer than 100 employees. When you add in medium-sized businesses (100 to 499 employees), the percentage rises to 99.8%. They are the engine of the economy and their success is vital to Canada’s prosperity. Here are 10 things you probably didn’t know about small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and their impact on Canada’s economy.... There are almost 1.1 million SMEs in Canada. More than half (55%) have fewer than 4 employees. Only 1.6% are medium-sized businesses. Small businesses employed almost 69.7% of private sector workers in 2012, or 7.7 million people across the country. In the 2002 to 2012 period, small businesses were responsible for 77.7% of all jobs created in the private sector. Small businesses created around 100,000 jobs each year on average. SMEs represent 54.2% of the economic output produced by the business sector (in 2005). 90% of exporting companies have fewer than 100 employees, but produce 25% of the total value of Canadian exports. The largest number of SMEs are in the wholesale trade and retail sector (18.8%). Fewer than one out of four Canadian SMEs invest in research and development (R&D). Only half of new firms (51%) survive their fifth year of operation. Source: Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. #smallbusiness #supportlocal #canada #economy

How large of a cheque do you want from Canada Revenue Agency this Spring?

What would you do with an extra $105 a month? We vastly upgraded this client’s coverage and still saved them well over $105/mon from their previous mortgage insurance. $105/mon x 12 months x 20 yr amortization = $25,200 in savings!!! Isn’t that worth reaching out to us for a complimentary second opinion?
