BizPaL, a new online business permit and licence service helping entrepreneurs save time on paperwork and start up faster, has come to King.

The service helps business owners identify which permits and licences they require and how to obtain them.

Entrepreneurs simply answer a series of questions on the type of business they want to start or operate and the activities they plan to undertake.

BizPaL then automatically generates a list of all required permits and licences from all levels of government, along with basic information on each and links to government sites where the entrepreneur can learn more and, in some cases, apply online.

The BizPaL service in the Township of King was developed with the support of Industry Canada, in collaboration with the Township of King and the province.

Area business owners and entrepreneurs can access the service by visiting www.king.ca or www.serviceontario.ca/biz pal.

To date, eight provinces and territories participate in BizPaL, with more than 125 municipalities offering the service.

The province is looking forward to expanding BizPaL to other areas of Ontario over the next year.

Visit www.bizpal.ca for additional project history, information and access to the websites of participating partners.
