Setting up an entity and managing staffing operations is difficult across Canada, with different provincial regulations and licensing. Recruitment agencies need:

• A legal entity
• Physical address and bank account
• Federal and Provincial Tax registrations everywhere you have contractors
• Legal compliance for Federal and Provinces.
• Payroll Funding and Compliance
• General liability, Professional Liability, Workers' Compensation Insurance and More
