When you’re about to start a small business, it’s important to ask yourself the right questions before you get started:
Should I incorporate or register my company?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of incorporation?
Should I register for a HST number? If not, when should I?
Should I register for payroll or WSIB? If not, when should I?
What records should I keep, and for how long?
What year-end should I choose for my business?
How do my financial results compare to the market?
How can I improve revenue for my business?
Should I buy or lease a company vehicle?
When is the right time to expand my venture?
When should I open a business bank account?
How can I secure business bank loans?
Capex is here to guide you every step along the way. We are your business finance partners and we will help you make the right decision based on the questions you have.
Minutebook Catch-up
Your minutebook is like a logbook for your business. Are your bylaws outdated or you need to update the directors, shareholders and other major transactions.You should record all the major transactions such as year-end accounting completed, tax filings, major land purchases, other debt obligations and share certificate register maintenance. The minutebook is required to be updated for many CRA audits and bank financing.
Growth Strategy
Capex can help you evaluate growth opportunities with appropriate capital formation strategy. We start by analyzing your capital needs then identifying the most feasible capital sources as angel investors, venture capitalists, small business loans, grants, bank financing, and internal cash flow financing. Generating your business cash flow statement will allow appropriate breakdown between Operating, Financing and Investing activities. We ensure the capital strategy will go above and beyond your business potential.
Financing & Grants
The Canadian government provides many grants and financing to help support small businesses. These grants are essentially free money to help you support your business operations. The reasoning for providing such grants is from a long term perspective as the Canadian government will collect future tax funds from your corporation. Many businesses don’t bother trying to apply to these grants as it involves many financial projections and analysis but the payout of free money doesn’t hurt!
