LAW DEPOT
This is my go-to do-it-yourself online resource for legal templates at LawDepot.ca or LawDepot.com.
These are customizable agreements including commercial and residential lease agreements, Power of Attorney (POA), Last Will and Testament, loan agreements, cohabitation agreement, prenuptial agreement, separation agreement, and more.
They offer a 1-week free trial that converts into a monthly subscription.
I just buy the one-off form and write it off as a business expense.
The reason for mentioning Law Depot is due to the recent death of a friend's close relative who did not have a Will, and now his estate is in probate.
Did you know the minimum age to create a Will in BC is now 16 years?
It's so much easier (for the survivors) when a Trustee has been named in a Will.
BC FARM CREDIT
Steve was taking a look at what kind of government funds were available to acquire a blueberry farm.
So, he called Farm Credit Canada for answers.
It is amazing the amount of money that is available for farming and agriculture from interest-free loans, low cost loans up to $750,000 for out-buildings and equipment, including no payments for the first year or two depending on the crop.
He discovered that a blueberry farm needs to produce a minimum of one million (1,000,000) pounds of berries a year to be profitable.
FINDING GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Did you know there are millions of grant dollars that go unclaimed every year?
That's because the government is not in the business of marketing or promoting benefits; it's up to individuals to find out on their own.
The Business Benefits Finder is an easy start to find resources for your business or if you plan to start a new business.
Here is the business grants overview page on financing programs, wage subsidies, tax credits.
And remember there are strings attached for receiving free money.
