Now that you have decided to start your own business, you will have to determine what business structure or form of organization suits your needs.

About 70% of Indigenous communities are situated in or near forested areas. The forest products industry is one of the largest employers of Indigenous people in Canada. The sector also works with more than 1,400 Indigenous firms. Working closely with Indigenous communities will help to ensure that those communities, our industry and the Canadian economy thrive. Through existing and expanding relationships with Indigenous peoples and communities, the industry aims to attract more Indigenous workers, contractors and suppliers to the sector.
