This review is from: The Canadian Small Business Survival Guide: How to Start and Operate Your Own Successful Business Revised and Expanded Edition (Paperback)

This book is exactly what I was hoping for. I have been working through Romanus Wolter's _Kick Start Your Dream Business_ with great success, but I needed some specific information about being an entrepreneur in Canada. This book is a great source for addresses and links for Canadian government offices and other Canadian resources. It also mentions other things unique to Canada that I found helpful like "Excise Tax", which will effect my particular business. The book also has good general information on starting and running a business. My only complaint about the book is that my husband noticed a few typos.
