We Assist

  • Streamlining Market Entry

    Navigating Canada's market entry can be complex. Our team provides expert guidance on legal, tax, and regulatory compliance. Did you know, Canada has a complex federal and provincial tax system? The combined federal and Ontario corporate income tax rate is 26.5% for general corporations. There are different rates for small businesses and investment income. We'll help you navigate these intricacies, ensuring you're set up correctly.

  • Optimizing Financial Operations

    Our financial experts streamline your operations by handling the intricate details of Canadian tax compliance and payroll administration. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) mandates that all businesses must accurately withhold income taxes, Employment Insurance (EI) premiums, and Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions from employee pay. The withholding rates are not fixed and depend on the employee's income and various tax credits, which can vary significantly. Our service will manage all of this, so you can confidently scale your business and focus on your core mission.

  • Enhancing Human Resources

    Building and managing a Canadian workforce requires a deep understanding of labor laws and cultural nuances. Did you know that while most full-time employees in Canada are entitled to a minimum of 2 weeks of paid vacation after one year of employment, specific provinces and industries have different rules? For instance, Alberta requires 3 weeks after 5 years, and the Canada Labour Code mandates 3 weeks for certain industries such as banking and air transportation. We help you navigate these intricacies and develop HR practices that promote employee well-being and compliance, ensuring your team is set up for success.

Discover Incentives & Opportunities

Canada incentivizes foreign expansion through strategic programs. Explore opportunities like the Strategic Innovation Fund, SR&ED tax credits, and the Digital Adoption Program. These initiatives offer financial support and growth pathways for various sectors. Canada welcomes foreign investment, reducing costs and boosting competitiveness. Leveraging these resources is key to establishing a strong Canadian presence.

Advanced Manufacturing and Technology - Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF)

Canada's Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) supports transformative projects in advanced manufacturing. The SIF provides both repayable and non-repayable funding for eligible businesses establishing or expanding Canadian operations. Focusing on cutting-edge tech like AI and robotics, the SIF aims to drive innovation and job creation. Did you know, projects must have a total cost of $20 million or more, with a minimum SIF contribution of $10 million? The SIF prioritizes projects reducing emissions and strengthening key sectors. We can help you assess your project’s eligibility.

Life Sciences - Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) Tax Incentive

Canada’s Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program offers significant tax credits for life sciences R&D. This program provides credits on salaries, materials, and some overhead costs for eligible R&D activities such as developing new drugs and medical devices. Did you know, any business conducting R&D in Canada can be eligible, regardless of parent company location? The federal program offers a 15% non-refundable tax credit. We can assist you in maximizing your SR&ED claims.

Digital Technologies and Software - Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP)

The Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) provides support for businesses adopting new digital technologies. While primarily aimed at Canadian SMEs, foreign companies with a Canadian branch can benefit from advisory services and funding opportunities.

We can help you integrate new digital solutions.
