Here are potential ideas for starting your business

Starting a business can be rewarding as well as challenging. As a newcomer to Canada who is looking to start a business, here are some things you may want to keep in mind.

Before acting on your business idea, consider spending some time researching to make your idea as strong as it can be. Be honest with yourself and answer important questions such as:

  • Is there a market for your idea?
  • Who are your competitors and what they are doing?
  • Do you have a business plan?
  • What are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to your idea?
  • Have you considered affordability and how will you manage cash flow?

It’s important to ensure you’re meeting all requirements as a newcomer, including understanding your ability to legally own and operate a business.

The Government of Canada has a lot of useful resources to help start your business, as a newcomer to Canada. 


Having a written business plan is recommended.

Having a document that outlines your idea, explains your goals and how to accomplish them, not only helps you manage your business, but could come in handy when you’re looking for money.

Consider downloading our business plan template which addresses product and service information, competitive analyses, the financial feasibility of starting up, and more. 


Finding the money and managing cashflow is something to consider when starting any kind of business.

To help you get started, here are some common questions for you to consider:
