Hello! This is not my office but posting on behalf of my FB-less friends who have this great space right on Ossington south of Dundas. Currently have 4 devs and 1 entreprenuer in the space and looking for about 3 more. They can fit more however it's nice if it's not too crowded. Cost is $800 per desk. Some cool features include:

-Private outdoor space (they also want to add a BBQ)
-Super smash brother breaks!
-Storage space in the basement
-Great location! Street level on Ossington with lots of restaurants, bars, cafes, transit options (Queen, Dundas streetcars and Ossington bus)
-Everyone is very friendly and often socialize in the evenings or go out for lunch/coffee
-DJ booth (mostly for the socializing evenings)

If anyone is interested, happy to put you in touch with them!

What are you guys working on?

Hey! I'm not looking for desk space right now, but would be interested in renting some storage space if they have any garage space available 😄 maybe a long shot, but happy to chat more if your friend is interested. [email protected]

Question that is likely a simple one, but I've had trouble finding the answer. I was a founder of a U.S. start-up, and when it came to setting strike price for employee options (and determining FMV), we always used a 409A, which is a regulated requirement in the U.S.. Is there an equivalent process for a Canadian companies with Canadian employees? How is FMV determined? ... See MoreSee Less

In Canada, we use the same 409a valuation for Canadian companies. The process is using the same valuation theory.

Hi everyone! I'm looking to talk to someone about US/CAN cross-border tax implications. More specifically surrounding tax things to think about as a founder of a delaware-c-corp and being a Canadian citizen/resident.
Would love to know if you or anyone you know would be down for a quick chat (a founder or an accountant that’s knowledgable). Thanks for the help!

We run a curriculum ebook store that generated at least 3x ROAS when managed internally, but after 4 digital marketing shops, our ROAS is not good. As we pivot to a digital subscription model, I would really like to avoid keeping this role in-house. In the case of paid media ads, do you run them in-house or outsource? ... See MoreSee Less

What is your internal staff doing differently than the agencies you’ve hired? The short answer is go with whomever performs best. I’m an agency owner, and I won’t pretend that we have a 100% success rate with outperforming marketing managers, but 9/10 times we improve results with our attention to detail and breadth of knowledge within media buying. We work with some startups in this group as well. If your in-house marketing manager has always come out on top — definitely go that way. If you ever want a quick and free audit for Paid Social/Search, I’d be happy to chat. Adjust Media for reference.

What’s the benefit of working with contractors / subcontractors vs hiring employees? At what point does a contractor need to become an employee? ... See MoreSee Less

Comment on Facebook 2394772839_10160488251122840

There’s the business side of it - when do you want them to focus on your company rather than where their next contract comes from? And then there’s the CRA side of it where they have established criteria of employee vs subcontractor. If they assess a subcontractor as employee they will want the employer portion of the CPP and EI.

Exactly what Shawna Quinton said!

Keep the half, that's the whole point of requesting half to start. If the customer doesn't want to continue that's their prerogative. At least, you didn't lose as much, damage control. It sucks but it's better than nothing. Then ... continue with other endeavours! Cheers!

Jami Gaudet is there opportunity for this project to continue? If so, re-engage the client and see if you can get a plan together to move it forward. If there is little to no opportunity for it to continue, close out the project, send a notice that the project is closed and record the revenue for 2022 and do as Joanan mentioned; focus on new endeavours!

**Advice for offsite liability insurance**
Hi all - I'm organizing a 4-day offsite for our team of 20 people in Mexico, with people attending from different countries. I am looking for a liability insurance for the period of the offsite. Does anyone here have experience with insurance for a business trip like this, and/or have recommendations to share? Thanks a lot!

We just did this for 130 people in Puerto Vallarta. Let me check with the team and see what they did.

We’re in the insurance space, more embedded though. Our head of P&C insurance says: “Maybe we can help. CGL policies are world wide usually so they probably covered under their own thing already.” If you want to chat let me know and I’ll connect you with Neil.
