PROVINCE PASSES LEGISLATION TO HELP VAUGHAN BUSINESSES SAVE TIME AND MONEY

New legislation introduced by the Ontario government will cut red tape and help Vaughan’s small businesses grow and prosper. Vaughan’s small business community is the backbone of our economy and we are committed to providing tools to help them succeed.

The Cutting Unnecessary Red Tape Act 2017 will reduce regulatory burdens and practices that cost time and money, while protecting environmental and health standards, and ensuring worker safety. New measures include reducing regulatory costs, streamlining compliance for small business, international or national standards alignment, rewarding good actors, electronic transmission guarantee and reducing fees and other costs.

The City of Vaughan has more than 11,300 businesses that employ more than 208,000 people. Over 80 per cent of Vaughan’s businesses are small businesses. At the City of Vaughan, we value the hard work and dedication it takes to create a successful business because we understand that the foundation of a great city is a strong and thriving business community. We encourage innovation and support entrepreneurs every step of the way. 

If you are a business owner or aspiring entrepreneur looking for advice, guidance and a network of helpful resources, give the Vaughan Business Enterprise Centre (VBEC) a call. VBEC is the City’s one-stop shop that offers information, training and hands-on assistance. You can access VBEC services by booking one-on-one or group consultations or attending VBEC business seminars and events. For more information, visit vaughan.ca/VBEC.
