One of the easier ways that some foreign investors are finding to open up new businesses in Canada is through the moving of an established franchise. Canada is making that a very simple process.

The franchisors who choose to enter the Canadian market by incorporating a subidisary. They establish business premises, hire employees and franchise directly to unit franchises. By contacting a few of the master franchisees in Canada it is possible to license them to expand your franchise into Canada. They already have many of the implements in place that save time and money usually associated with a normal set-up.
This method avoids employment laws, tax planning and corporate structures and filings in a foreign country - all of which require time, money and learning curves. There will be plenty of paperwork in any regard with the filing of trademarks and other things that relate directly to your franchise. By associating with an existing company much of this can be done with much less time because the master franchisees already have accountants, lawyers, and other official and necessary tools in place.

American franchises tend to do very well in Canada. Statistics show that the percentage of business still existing after one, five and ten year periods is very high and the profits generally do very well. And with the tax breaks associated with providing Canadian jobs, it definitely becomes an attractive situation. Many people who have never owned franchises look to Canada for their first ones, and it works.

Canadian websites provide extraordinary information about the benefits a franchise will find in all the different regions, and it along with selecting the type of franchise you want is a great way to start looking at new business opportunities.
