Planning for the succession of your business can be very complicated. This is why we have developed this succession planning guide to assist business owners how to successfully accomplish the transition process.
Optimism among Canada's small- and mid-sized business owners dipped slightly in June. CFIB's Business Barometer® Index finished the month at 66.4, down about a point from May's 67.3 level. This latest reading is at the lower end of the average over the last 10 months, and suggest that economic output is growing only at a modest 2.5 per cent clip.
Ottawa/Regina, June 9, 2010 As Federal, Provincial and Territorial (FPT) governments hold consultations with producers across Canada, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) released a report today which reveals farmers glaring frustration with the current Business Risk Management (BRM) program, AgriStability.
CFIB represents 7,200 agri-businesses across Canada, of which 78 per cent are primary producers, and 22 per cent are within the agriculture services sector. These agri-business members operate their farms as businesses, and join CFIB for its advocacy of an entrepreneurial business culture and mission to give independent business a greater voice in determining laws governing business.
CFIB makes a bottom-line difference to your agri-business. We speak out on your behalf on key agricultural issues, including: competitive challenges, tax burden, regulation and paper burden, shortage of qualified labour, advocating for the development of farmer-friendly policies, and succession planning.
