Starting A Home Business In Canada
So, you've decided to start a home-based business In Canada?
Good for you!
You've just joined the ranks of 79 million North Americans who are expected to
start their own home based business in the next 3 to 5 years according to
Forbes Magazine.
You may be juggling a full time job, a part time job and family life. You know
that there are many things you need to do in order to successfully start your
business and work from home.
Don't let anyone fool you into thinking its going to be easy. It can be
simplebut it won't be easy. If it were easy
everyone would be rich working from home.
How are you going to fit your business project into your daily commitments?
It's easy to become overwhelmed and lose focus. Losing focus will cause you to
take no action.
Actionis essential to moving on from where you
are now, to where you want to go.
Here are 5 critical tips for staying focused andrazor
sharpwhen starting
your home business enterprise...
1. Break It Down:
If you have a large task to tackle, it is always easier when you
break it down into smaller components. You'll find it easier to focus because
you won't feel as overwhelmed. For example, 'Register a business name' can be
broken down into: 'Think of five business name ideas', 'Find out how to
register a business name', 'Get registration form' and so on.
2. Keep A 'To Do' List:
Once you've broken down major tasks into smaller ones, make and
keep a 'to do' list. Always keep a note pad and pen with you so that you can
jot down any new ideas as they arise.
3. Schedule Your Time:
Every evening, decide on three to five tasks on your 'to do'
list that you wish to accomplish the following day. Stay focused on these tasks
and only move on to the next tasks on your list once these have been completed.
4. Set Goals:
This is critical. There is nothing that will keep you more
focused than setting goalsandwriting out your goals. Visualize
exactly where you want to be in a month, six months and a year.
In a month's time, do you want to have registered a business name and have a
fully functional home office set up? In three months time, how many clients or
team members do you want? How much revenue do you want to generate in a six
month's time?
5. Say No:
Be assertive and carve out more time for your home business.
Saying ‘no' to that extra demand by your boss every once in a while can get you
home one hour earlier a couple of days a week.
How about cutting back on the amount of housework that you do?
How about watching less TV? Thats a BIG time zapper. Imagine how you could
channel that extra time into your home business enterprise...
If you put these 5 tips into practice, you'll definitely find it
easier to focus and stayrazor sharpso you can achieve your ultimate goal
of working from home and putting moreLifeStyleback in your life. Starting A Home Business In Canada Is A Great Decision!

- [quote="IWDCanada":jib6tqt9]I think if you try to do business in the Maritimes the Business Development Bank of Canada might be able to provide grants.[/quote:jib6tqt9]
On that note, does anybody have any experiences with the Business Development Bank of Canada that they would like to share? I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.
Clothing Niche
- Yasunori, can you dig deeper into the clothing niche? e.g. Business Casual for people 6ft and taller (men only, women only or both).
Victoria Secret is big in Canada because they don't have retail Stores here and the only way to get their product in Canada is thru online purchases. They have a great Hassle-free return policy too.
canada resources
- I used to have a connection to a franchise consultant in Canada at "Franchise Officer" in Toronto. I wish I could remember his name ( but I can check my files at the office tomorrow). Anyway, he had a lot of connections to banks in Canada. He may know of them and may be able to offer some feedback.
If you are looking for a business loan, Canada has similar business loan programs to that of the USA's Small Business Administration (SBA). I think its SLBS in Cananda, and I probably have the list of it's lenders in my office also.
Do you think either can be helpful? If so, I can get back to you with this information tomorrow. Let me know!

I'll be working with the BDC later this month on a few projects. From what i've been told they are really great when it comes to small business. Their loans have a little higher interest but their payment terms are a lot easier to swallow. I can give you a contact if you need.
