We can suggest names of competitors to research.ObjectiveWe hope to gain a comprehensive understanding of the competitors in our space and how we can differentiate ourselves through our product/service offering, and our messaging.Presently we only exist in one market but it’s time to grow! Our company requires some assistance in assessing our customer landscape outside of our current territory. We want to learn more about customer’s expectations and behaviors in suggested new regions. It is important for us to stay up to date on industry standards to ensure that we research new locations fully and completely before choosing to enter. We have some ideas of where we would like to go but we need to make sure that we consider all available options before making a decision.To consider: which markets align with our current one? Where are there buyers that we have yet to reach? What are the pros and cons of expanding our operations? What potential competitors exist in new locations? What legal protocol will need to be considered?Potential recommendations could be new products, new geographies, and new partnerships.

Start Up Business Structure Implications

# of individual students required: 1We are rolling an ongoing social science research to practice project from an institutional base to be it's own entity. We need someone to explore the different registration options in Canada and their implications both in terms of cost, legality, tax (internal). Our goal is to gain clarity on the right legal structure e.g. nonprofit, corporation, B-corp, foundation for our new entity. The task is three-part: 1. Research the options for formally incorporating e.g. company, B-corp, non-profit2. identify the internal implications of each option e.g. financial, internal systems-process etc. At minimum identify the questions I need to ask to whom e.g. accountant, financial advisor etc.Deliverable would be a two part report - options, implications and recommendations. Ideally this would be completed by the end of May, but there is some room to discuss this if necessary.
