Oliver one of the first of 98 to use BizPaL

40 more B.C. municipalities now
using BizPaL

VICTORIA – Starting and running a business in British Columbia is easier thanks to BizPaL, an online business permit and licence service that saves time spent on paperwork and helps entrepreneurs start up faster.

40 additional municipalities in British Columbia are now using the plan according to the government.

Linda Larson, vice-chair, Small Business Roundtable says “BizPaL’s single point of access for permit and licensing
requirements is a valuable timesaver. The Small Business Roundtable recommends that every community in B.C. adopt this service to the benefit of their entrepreneurs.”

BizPaL is an innovative service that provides entrepreneurs with
simplified access to information on the permits and licences they need to establish and run their businesses. This unique partnership among federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments is designed to cut through the paperwork burden and red tape that small business owners encounter.
