This allows them to off-load a few administrative items from their to-do list, creating more time to focus on tasks that help grow their business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ownr has helped 55,000+ Canadians launch their dreams.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrepreneurs are change agents and key drivers for the Canadian economy, and there\u2019s an inspiring story behind each entrepreneur.

This entrepreneurial spirit creates businesses that provide value to our communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pandemic disproportionately impacted existing small businesses, with some more heavily impacted than others. From our vantage point at Ownr, we saw entrepreneurs rally, throw their hats in the ring, and focus on pivoting their businesses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the pandemic resulted in turbulence in different industries, entrepreneurs rallied to build and grow their businesses. We saw a surge of business registrations over the last 20 months, which is a testament to the resilient spirit of Canadian entrepreneurs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deciding to become an entrepreneur is a powerful, emotional decision. There\u2019s a mix of vulnerability, belief, and passion that\u2019s common between every entrepreneur.

With this acquisition, we were able to deliver a lot more value to our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting as a solution for entrepreneurs looking to register or incorporate their business, with this acquisition, Ownr evolved into a platform that helps with the legalities of running a business. Critical elements of small business ownership, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ownr.co\/product\/managed-corporation\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">up-to-date minute books, filing annual returns, changing directors and business addresses<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can now be easily addressed using Ownr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Growing our team by 2X over the last year.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ambitious plan needs a talented team to bring it to fruition.

And, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ownr.co\/company\/careers\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we\u2019re still growing a lot, looking to get talented and passionate individuals on our team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staying humble is part of our core DNA at Ownr.

In the early stages of Ownr, we were in the process of launching our services for entrepreneurs. But now, and especially over the last year, we are focused on growing the business that allows us to support entrepreneurs across several touchpoints of their ventures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In doing that, we have learned a few lessons that help us navigate the problems we are looking to solve for our customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Identifying the right talent can lead to further growth.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we move into the fifth year of our operations, we know the importance of having the right individuals on our team. Building a successful company requires everyone to share a common belief in the problems we\u2019re looking to solve. Empowering the team to do their best work and allowing them to make decisions that best drives the business forward is crucial as you look to scale your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Ensuring a smooth acquisition and transition.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We knew that the acquisition of Founded Technologies was a natural step forward for us. Of all of the work that it took, we are most proud of the fact that we managed to combine our services, and our teams, seamlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helped that we had a pre-existing relationship with the founders of Founded Technologies and familiarity with their platform that allowed this transition to take place smoothly. We saw it as an opportunity to define a combined culture that our new-look team would thrive within. Doing so helped us pull towards the same goal quicker as a team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Entrepreneurs need support from all directions.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting a business can be an incredibly confusing and often lonely, expensive, and time-consuming endeavour. But, despite the challenges, many entrepreneurs say that it\u2019s the most rewarding initiative they have taken on in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8439 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ownr.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png 2160w, https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?resize=768,768 768w, https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?resize=1024,1024 1024w, https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?resize=1536,1536 1536w, https:\/\/www.ownr-blog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FB-IG_1080x1080-3.png?resize=2048,2048 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are building the tools and resources to help support entrepreneurs who might feel a little lost when starting out and provide the subsequent support needed by a growing business. Our support team offers best-in-class guidance to entrepreneurs, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ownr.co\/blog\/meet-canada-starts-grant-recipients\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we also launched a grant of $200,000<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the last year to help aspiring Canadian entrepreneurs start their businesses.

With the new year just around the corner, our team will expand to other Canadian provinces and support a wider pool of entrepreneurs looking to launch their dreams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wider pool of entrepreneurs also means that we need to build other tools that help our customers feel empowered in running their businesses. Our team is working on a myriad of solutions for entrepreneurs, and we can\u2019t wait to pull the curtain off these new products and tools over the coming year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have learned in the last four years that as a growing company, we must embrace change. Having a business plan helps tremendously, but being comfortable knowing that the end product can look different and adapting to changes that provide only the best for entrepreneurs inspires every one of us at Ownr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entrepreneurs drive change across Canada and fill our communities with vibrancy. Creating a space where entrepreneurs can freely focus on growing their business will have a positive impact on every Canadian.
