BizPaL is an online service by Industry Canada, operated in partnership with several provincial and local governments. The service is intended to simplify the processes for permit applications, business licences and other compliance regulations for entrepreneurs, governments, and third party business service providers, by providing Canadian businesses with one-stop access to permit and licence information for federal, provincial and municipal governments. The service’s goals are to reduce document research time and help entrepreneurs start up faster. The Town of Harbour Grace has been a member of BizPal since 2017.
Even if your business is already operating, BizPaL can help you verify that you have all the correct permits and licences.
