Launching and building a new business in the City of North Vancouver is easier than ever thanks to BizPaL. The City recognizes the value of small businesses to the community and is committed to helping entrepreneurs establish themselves and their business.
BizPaL is an innovative online service that provides entrepreneurs with simplified access to information about business permits, licences, and other requirements needed to start, operate, and grow your business from the federal, provincial/territorial, and participating municipal governments.
Benefits of BizPaL
Finding out which government requirements apply to a certain business type can be time consuming and frustrating. BizPaL was created to help identify what you may require, quickly and easily. The information you need is available from a single source; entrepreneurs spend less time dealing with red tape – saving effort and money in the process – and more time building their business.
This service is the result of strong collaboration between the Government of Canada, the Government of British Columbia, and the City of North Vancouver and is designed with the following benefits in mind:
- It's free to use
- It saves time
- It’s available 24/7
