Business and Business Type by Smaller Units of Geography
Question:
I have a researcher wondering there is data on the number of business and types of businesses by smaller levels of census geography (CT or FSA)? Is this data available?
Answer:
The University of Toronto Map and Data Library dataverse appears to have this data: Canadian Business Patterns, Dissemination Area (DA) Level. In addition to the DAs for 2012-2016, they also have DA, CA/CMA, and CSD level files for various years in the period 2007-2011. Here’s the full list of what U of T purchased:

McGill just purchased the CT-level CBCounts. Since these data are governed by the open data license we can share no problem. I can send you a link if you want the CT as well.

Business Stats at Sub-provincial Level
Question:
I’m help a graduate-level class that is working on a feasibility study for a new downtown grocery store. The instructor would like to find things like market share, customer numbers, sales by industry, and so on.
Apart from location counts by NAICS code and employee size at the CMA-level, everything we’ve located is national or provincial.
Are there sources for more detailed information, apart from CDER or custom tabs?
Answer:
You may find some of the publications from the Centre for the Study of Commercial Activity at Ryerson useful.
I don’t know if this helps, but for sales data, employee counts and other company/industry data one place we refer students to is the D&B Million Dollar Database. You can search by SIC (e.g., 54110000 for grocery stores) and limit by geography (e.g., Manitoba / Winnipeg). Doesn’t provide all the data you want in your case, of course.

Updated Products - Canadian Business Patterns
We are pleased to inform you that the following product is now available on the DLI FTP and website:
Canadian Business Patterns - December 2010
"The Canadian Business Patterns contains data that reflects counts of business locations (as of December 2008) and business establishments (prior to December 2009) by: 9 employment size ranges, including "indeterminate" (as of December 1997); geography groupings: province/territory, census division, census subdivision (before December 2008), census metropolitan area and census agglomeration; and industry using the North American Industry Classification System (tables at the 2, 3, 4 and 6-digit level) as of December 1998. Before December 2004, these data were also presented using the Standard Industrial Classification (tables at the 1, 2, 3 and 4-digit level). A concordance table showing the relationships between both classification systems is included with the product.
The data published in the Canadian Business Patterns represents the current number of locations or establishments for a specific reference period which is taken from the Business Register Central Frame Data Base. It is not intended for use as a time series because changes that affect the continuity of the data might result from changes in methodology. Some examples are: the change to another version of the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC) or the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), the addition of the new territory of Nunavut and new rules to better identify inactive units."
