Alberta’s Strong Economic Climate Gives Its Businesses an Edge
With the lowest overall tax burden in Canada, Alberta helps entrepreneurs with its low corporate taxes and low personal taxes. It also boasts an educated, diverse labor force. The province’s location in Western Canada and accessibility to the Western United States give Alberta businesses an edge.
Alberta is especially friendly toward small businesses. In 2009, Alberta’s small business GDP per capita was better than that of any other province. The province’s economy is supported by its major resources, which means a healthy market for businesses of all sizes. The province’s favorable economic outlook means its businesses will continue to thrive into the future.
FranNet’s local experts are ready to help you make the most of Alberta’s thriving economy. They understand what small businesses do for Alberta and what the province can do for its businesses. Talk to a FranNet consultant today to discover a business that will work for you.
Franchising in Alberta
- Franchise law: Alberta's Franchises Act requires a franchisor to give a prospective franchisee a disclosure document at least 14 days before the prospective franchisee signs the franchise agreement (or any other agreement relating to the franchise) or pays anything for the franchise, whichever comes first. It is a disclosure law, not a registration law. (Source: Franchises Act, RSA 2000, c F-23 (Alberta King’s Printer))
