Your Own Business
Small businesses provide 92 per cent of all new jobs in Canada. These businesses include farms, fishing operations, corner grocery stores, restaurants, bakeries, construction companies, hardware stores, babysitting services, flower shops, handicraft businesses and small factories. The federal and provincial governments have programs to help businesses.
There are several types of businesses. Manufacturers produce the goods which they sell to wholesalers. Wholesalers moves goods between manufacturers and retailers for businesses such as grocery and hardware stores and gasoline stations. Retailers then sell the goods directly to the consumer. Retail businesses include flower shops, grocery stores, drugstores, restaurants and craft shops.
