For mailing addresses UPS, Canada Post and several coworking companies offer mailing address services. I’ve used a couple in the past. Last year I negotiated an arrangement with a neighbourhood business to use their mailing address in exchange for an hour of consulting services/year. I offered to pay them and they asked if I’d consult for them instead.

studio.staples.ca/studio/torontomidtown check out all services and they have a mailing service. Happy to grab a call and catch up and share how my company has been remote for 7 years x Nat

We haven't done one, but I can highly recommend Wildeboer Dellelce LLP

Yup - this is done extremely frequently, especially in cases of “acquhires”, where select assets are acquired and team members are given employment agreements. Any of the local law firms with tech practices will be able to execute efficiently, but I’d recommend Chad Bayne or Jeff Dennis and their respective teams.

Yes, I've done this exact type of asset deal in 2016 with an indie dev (who I also hired) and didn't get an attorney involved. I figured because the deal amount was just $21K USD it wouldn't be worth it. In 2020, I was starting to think about exiting and got nervous about the validity of the 1-pager agreement that I drafted myself and had an attorney look at it. They attached a "bill of sale" but largely the 1-pager was fine. I can send you a copy if you like.

Daniel Rizzi is excellent and very startup-friendly!

Qasim Virjee might have that at startwell. Or perhaps 111?

Space for 35 people or space for 35 people to work

We totally have that!

I’m surprised I don’t see this question more often. Most ad agencies are 2 days a week - and never on Fridays. There’s a big business to be built on renting out full offices only on Fridays.

Hi Jeremy - I have a great spot at king/Spadina that could be great. Happy to show it to you!

There's a company called Rewardful, where the founder is based in Ed. But they sold the business. There's another company called Showbie, which looks like is doing really well. You can hit up both CEOs on LinkedIn and they are both responsive/friendly.

I know someone who has gone public on the CSE, is there a specific question?

Hi Nouhaila Chelkhaoui ! We used Richard at brookslaw.ca, he was great. Small shop in Toronto very supportive for early stage businesses. Happy to make a direct intro of you'd like.

SpringLaw are awesome too!

Dhruv Pal has helped me with several Employment Contracts and NDAs.

Goodlawyer might be able to help. Brett Colvin, you can maybe confirm?

Goodlawyer for sure

Goodlawyer would be happy to help!

You're probably an annual filer, but are required to make quarterly remittances if last years owing balance was over $3K.

If your net tax for the last fiscal year was $3,000+, it changes to quarterly installments from my understanding .

I'm a GST/HST Rulings officer at the CRA and the answers above are almost certainly the reason. You could confirm on MyBA if you are registered for that, or could try the Business Inquires line after the strike is over. Given that you're a new registrant I would pay the amount and then file an appeal. They will likely waive the penalty for a first time mistake. www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/forms-publications/publications/31-0/objections-appeals....

Depends on revenues. I have to file quarterly. But even annual filers have to file estimates quarterly

This just happened to me, and kicker, I paid my 2022 taxes on time but it went toward 2023 so I was charged a penalty for that too! 😭

Phil Birnbaum that you can get fixed. I called and they fixed mine. Removed the penalty.

You get a letter from RC when they allow you to pay annual, until then its quarterly

Reforge has solid classes on growth / product

I'm launching a class with Founder Institute early next month. LMK if you want deets. :)

Hi Andre, I'd be happy to just give you some free advice. Sent you a DM

Hi Andre, Dayana Cadet is offering marketing mentoring at great rates (also freelance marketing services if you need). She’s pretty rad :) www.linkedin.com/posts/stephylittle_3-ways-a-marketing-mentorship-can-help-your-ugcPost-705442809...

Have you looked at BarterPay for this? You might find a firm looking to do exactly what you're thinking.

I’ve recommended Giles Osborne as the reviewing accountant for several of Mendicant Group s nonprofit clients - he knows Canadian nonprofit and charitable filing and is a solid guy. DM me and happy to share his contact details

Mike G. Goldfarb from MNP is great, I would try to connect with him and see what he can do

I love Hubspot but it is spendy. What features are you going to need right now?

We used hubspot for a bit, now using pipedrive and mail chimp. Pipedrive is relatively powerful and has a lot of add ons for not a lot of money. My only concern is if we ever "make it" , it will be hard to transition to Salesforce or something bigger, but for now it's doing pretty good and is *way* less than the bigger players.

Hubspot is crazy expensive for marketing. Our sales team is on hubspot but I opted to do our marketing on mailchimp after seeing how spendy hubspot was for basic marketing functionalities.

We did a year with Hubspot but once you move from the 90% discount and have multiple team members using it, it gets really expensive. We moved to Pipedrive and use Flodesk for email newsletters.

Absolutely love Hubspot but going up a tier or adding hubs is really crazy expensive. Even when you negotiate (they have wiggle room!).

I'd choose Pipedrive > Hubspot, reason is automations and integrations.

HubSpot.

HubSpot for sure. Used it for the last 6 years, it just gets the job done well

Not yet :)
