Question
A student here has asked for data on the number of home-based businesses in Toronto. I can easily find the number of people
employed in home-based businesses, but not the number of such businesses. In the hope that I have somehow missed the blindingly obvious, is this information available somewhere?
Answer
The only information I found, which is fairly dated, is from the 1995 Survey of Work Arrangements 1995. There was an article written in Perspectives on Labour and Income (catalogue 95-001-XPE, Autumn 1998 - Vol. 10, no. 3) entitled "Home-based entrepreneurs" which reports findings from this survey and publishes some results at the Canada level.
Short of this survey, I can not imagine we have very much information to help you.
The issue stems from the fact that business counts primarily come from administrative data (from CRA). A business needs to register with CRA under two circumstances: 1) They have employees and need to register for a payroll account, or 2) the business makes more than $30,000 a year and needs to register for a tax number from CRA.
As you can see, home-based businesses are often entrepreneurs with a fairly low income and without employees. Unless we have a special survey seeking them out, it does not seem as though the information we collect covers your patron's needs.
certainly like your web-site but you have to
ReplyDeletetake a look at the spelling on several of your posts.
Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very bothersome to inform the reality then again I'llsurely come again again.
So make action now and look for more information about any

just learn how to do things and earn as much money as possible.

The main reason most people shy away from starting their own business is because they don't understand if it is
hard to do or not.
