EXPANDING INTO E-BUSINESS?
Many entrepreneurs are adding e-business to their traditional enterprises, and some new businesses are based exclusively on e-business strategies. This bulletin was developed by the Business Link Service Centre for potential entrepreneurs and existing small business owners, who are considering e-business.
The E-Business Info Guide is a document designed to help you navigate through the different government programs, services and regulations which deal with E-Business, and identify those of interest. Some of the topics include common questions, regulations, privacy and security, taxation, export rules, consumer protection, financial assistance, training information, and so on.
