Starting your Business

Starting a Small Business in Hants County is a resource book for local entrepreneurs. It details many of the typical opportunities and obstacles you may experience while operating a small business.

This guide was developed with the help of a panel of small business people from throughout the county, and it will be regularly improved thanks to feedback from readers.

Throughout these pages, we will suggest that you consult with professional lawyers, accountants, bankers, and municipal planners. We will also refer you to local business support agencies. While a document like this simply cannot fully address your unique business case, it outlines many of the resources available to small business people in Hants County.

We have attempted to provide an introduction to areas every entrepreneur should address. Lists of local contacts have been included at the back of the document so that you can quickly get the answers you need.

This document will be updated as resources permit to ensure its accuracy. To be certain you have the most recent edition, visit us online (http://www.hantscounty.com) or at our offices in Windsor or Elmsdale.

Good luck as you embark on your business journey!
