3 Reasons It's Easier to Build a Business in Canada Than the U.S.
Is it easier to build a business in Canada or the United States? In this video, I break down the 3 structural advantages that Canadian founders have over their American counterparts — from tax rates to healthcare to competition levels.
Everyone romanticizes building in Silicon Valley. But if you're a Canadian founder, you're sitting on three massive advantages most people never talk about:
1) A ~12% small business tax rate — you keep more of every dollar you make.
2) Universal healthcare — no crushing employee benefit costs like U.S. employers carry.
3) Less competition — roughly 1 in 10 Americans start a business vs. 1 in 20 Canadians, but the consumers are still there.
Fewer competitors, lower overhead, more retained profit. That's not luck — it's leverage. Here's how to actually use it.
