It gave my business a voice."

Victim of Directory Scam? Competition Bureau sues deceptive marketing companies

Small businesses have called CFIB to complain of being deceived when receiving forms to update their paid advertising.

ARE YOU ELIGIBLE FOR UP TO $1000 IN SAVINGS?

The 2011 federal budget announced the Hiring Credit for Small Business to stimulate employment. If your EI premiums in 2010 were $10,000 or less, you may be eligible for a credit of up to $1,000 when filing your T4 information return for 2011. If you qualify, the credit will be issued automatically to your payroll account without the need to submit extra paperwork.
