Canada’s succession crunch is coming.
📈 63% of small business owners plan to exit within the next decade, yet only 6% have a formal succession plan.
That puts over $2 trillion in business assets at risk, along with jobs, local services and communities across Canada.
But there’s also a huge opportunity for the next generation of entrepreneurs to take over established Canadian businesses and build on what their owners have created.
CFIB’s latest report explores the challenges and what governments can do to support successful ownership transitions.

It is great to see a new federal red tape reduction strategy which includes several long-standing CFIB recommendations.
The new requirement for regulators to reduce regulatory burden costs by $2 for every $1 added is a significant step forward.
CFIB statement on federal Cabinet Directive on Regulatory Competitiveness and Red Tape Reduction cfib-fcei.ca/en/media/cfib-s…
Small business tax relief is long overdue. The federal tax rate has been stuck at 9% since 2019, and the deduction threshold hasn't changed since 2009.
CFIB is calling for a 6% rate and a $700K threshold indexed to inflation.

CFIB is pleased to see @ottawacity mayoral candidates take small business concerns seriously and pledge practical measures to support them.
At @CFIBNews we are advocating for the small business property tax subclass reduction to increase from 15 per cent to 25 per cent and to provide businesses with the opportunity to report red tape concerns directly to their municipalities through a dedicated portal. Both are concrete measures that will go a long way to make it easier to run a business in Ottawa.
We urge all mayoral candidates in Ottawa and across Ontario to address the challenges facing small businesses by committing to reducing municipal red tape, providing tariff and tax relief, mitigating construction-related disruptions, and finding municipal savings.
