Business services in Canada: prices and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

Business services in Canada range from a government filing of about CA$300 to a flat-fee incorporation through an accountant at CA$1,000 to CA$2,500, and IT support is often priced per user. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites and government fee schedules, November 2026. Pick the exact service, such as accounting or translation, and describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice for current offers.

Licences and fees by city

Licence costs depend on the city and the type of business. In Vancouver, most office-based businesses pay CA$277 a year in 2026, plus a CA$77 non-refundable application fee. Provincial registration usually costs between CA$60 and CA$400, and federal licences for regulated industries cost more. Ask any provider whether they hold the licences your business needs before you hire them.

Winter timing and year-end work

It is November, and winter runs from December to February in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa. If you need a company set up, a licence renewed or a website moved before the new year, start the request now rather than in December. Some federal services offer express handling for CA$100 on top of the regular fee, with a service standard of four business hours, which helps when a deadline is close.

How the work is priced and what to send

Prices are quoted per project, per month or per user, depending on the service. Flat fees suit incorporation, while IT support is priced per user each month. Describe the service you need, the size of your business, your city among Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa, the deadline, and whether you want a monthly or one-off budget in CA$. Ask whether the quote includes tax.
