Our first client

The last 24 hours has been pretty exciting to say the least.

I have had some detailed and indepth discussions with a group interested in acquiring the rights to a company in the transportation business and bringing them to Canada, and hopefully here to Hamilton.

An informal deal was made today with the parent company in the United States, which is very exciting news.

At this time I cant name the Company or its people involved, but lets just say I was up till 4 a.m. working on this.

Canadian Dollar Stronger than ever

The Canadian Dollar is on a tear and there is no stopping it.

History was made last week as the Canadian Dollar overtook the mighty American dollar and soared ahead at one point closing the day at a cent and a half ahead of the American greenback.

This is very historic, it was last done in the 1970's, I remember this as a kid.

But, this should not be surprising to those that follow the worlds finances.

A few years ago financial experts here in Canada predicted exactly this, and now they are saying that our Loonie could actually climb to $ 1.10 in the next decade.

So, as a foreign investor, what exactly does all this mean?

Well not to get overly complicated, it means that Canada is strong, extremely strong in fact on the worlds stage.

It means that we are a country that does not see economic problems ahead, the world needs and wants Canada's products especially its resources.

As a Company executive these are very important things you need to know when looking at Countries to call home to.

Hamilton is the center of it all, and we look forward to being your new home.

Welcome to your Canadian Connection

Welcome to your Canadian Connection!!!

This is our first post to our new blog, here we will update you on daily events taking place in Hamilton and Canada that might be of interest to you.

It is our intention to answer any questions that you may have on opening a business in Canada, and to help you along the way with making Hamilton your new head office in Canada!!!

Probably the most important thing for you to know, ( Outside of Hamilton as your obvious choice of locations ) is that our services are free!!

So, what is the catch you may be wondering?

None.

Personally I have opened companies in Japan,Canada, and the United States and have experienced the problems associated in not having anyone along the way in assisting me with un-biased advice and opinions to make them a reality.

Now with the Internet at our fingertips we all have a great tool to learn and educate ourselves on what is happening in the world, but this also at times can be very self-serving for those that post the information.

As a entrepreneur myself, I have had to cut through a lot of red tape, and have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours in researching places and Cities for offices and companies to be established.

In over 25 years in business I have learned a thing or two, and I have established a group of other business professionals to answer any and all questions that you may have to opening a business in Canada.

We look forward to talking with you soon!
