Exit Strategies for a Startup The typical exits for startups include IPOs, mergers/acquisitions and bankruptcy. The IPO was especially popular during the height of the Internet and technology boom, the time when numerous relatively newly formed companies went public. Typically less than one startup in 1,000 ever goes public. Those with venture financing have a much better chance - one in ten, yet sixty percent of venture-funded startups go bankrupt.
Taxation of a Startup At some point in the growth of the business, entrepreneurs will have to hire and terminate employees. Employment in Canada is heavily regulated, governed by either federal or provincial legislation. Most employers are covered by provincial legislation. Federal employment laws apply only to industries within the federal government's jurisdiction.

CONCEPT LAW™ Articles
We maintain CONCEPT LAW™
newsletter related to business, technology and intellectual property
concepts that advance the commercial and intellectual property value of
a startup moving its technology from concept, to
products, to customers, to cash flow. Distinct from the services offered by traditional business and intellectual property law firms, we
provide MANDATUS™ in-house
counselling programs serve as corporate general counsel on a
part-time basis for clients whose management teams require dedicated,
in-house legal management and resources, but are not yet large enough to
justify hiring full-time general counsel. We advance our clients in a way that
gives them the knowledge and ability needed to maximize their companies'
commercial and intellectual property value and minimize future legal
defence costs.
Below
are the issues of the CONCEPT LAW™
newsletter that were distributed in the years 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008,
