Canadian business lists

Every firm in the trade. Every one proven open.

Complete lists of Canadian businesses by industry and province. Each firm carries a dated proof that it is still trading: a renewed registry record, a valid workers’ comp certificate, or recent customer reviews.

Why these lists are different

01

Proven open, not just listed

Most business lists are copies of old directories. Ours start from licence registers, provincial registries and workers’ comp boards. If we can’t prove a firm is open, it isn’t in the file.

02

Counts you can check

Every list shows our count beside Statistics Canada’s count for the same industry and province, so you can see how complete it is before you buy.

03

Who wins public money

Every federal contract, provincial tender and government grant each firm has won, with dollar totals and the date of the latest award. Plus owner names from the provincial registry.

How a firm gets on a list

Finding a firm doesn’t put it on the list. It has to pass three checks first.

1. Find

Every firm we can: Google Maps across every town, trade associations, licence registers.

2. Prove it’s open

One dated record from a source we have tested for that province.

3. Confirm the trade

From its licence, its Google category, its own website or its registry entry.

4. Fill and date

Owner, contacts, size and public money, every value dated.
