Start-ups in Canada begin the year strong.
Cleanlist reports that 13,941 new businesses opened in January 2024 in Canada, up significantly from the same month last year. Although January is typically a slow month for new business formations, 2024’s number suggests we’re in for another strong year of growth.
Ontario leads the way.
By far, Ontario start-ups led the way in January with 7,700 start-ups (55% of the Canada-wide total). Next up is British Columbia with 1,900 (14%) and then Quebec with 1,500 (11%).
Why New Business Start-ups Matter to You
New businesses are big spenders in several B2B categories including office supplies, technology (computers, software, etc.), credit cards and financial services, furniture and fixtures, marketing and advertising, office space, insurance (business insurance, liability insurance), legal, accounting, and other professional services, employment recruiting and advertising, employee benefit programs, travel and transportation, raw materials and inventory, equipment, training and staff development, website development services, internet and telecommunication services, office maintenance and cleaning.
Companies that supply these products and services have an opportunity to quickly establish relationships with new start-ups and become their go-to supplier as they expand and grow. Savvy marketers know this and are quick to engage with these businesses.
