Services to support business and the property development industry 

The City of Toronto is committed to creating an environment for business to thrive. The City’s Economic Development 

and Culture Division is the business community’s link to City Hall, helping business navigate municipal programs and 

processes and providing consultation services and hands-on solutions to assist business at every stage of development 

from start-up to growth and expansion. 

Facilitating business operation and expansion

business development and expansion, location and relocation within Toronto. 

The team helps businesses meet everyday business challenges and maximize opportunities through the following 

programs and consultation services: 

• Assistance with addressing operational needs and resolving municipal issues 

• Information about valuable incentives and support programs 

• Guidance on directing and expediting proposals through the development process 

• Access to hiring and wage assistance programs 

• Guidance on expanding into international markets 

• Assistance navigating export regulations, policies, processes and challenges 

• Connections with business representatives from Toronto’s international economic development partnerships in 

China, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, Ecuador, Vietnam, Poland and the Ukraine 

• Access to a range of research and data to help with business investment and expansion decisions 

• Site location information including a listing of more than 50 signature sites currently on the market 

• Access to the Toronto Business Opportunities Bulletin Board, an online directory of business investment 

opportunities 

• Industry specific consultation and advocacy services by dedicated specialists with expertise in the following 

key sectors: business and professional services, culture, design, education services, fashion, film and television 

production, financial services, food and beverage, green industry, information and communication technology, life 

sciences and tourism 

• Access to free customer service training for the hospitality, tourism and service sectors 

• A dedicated corporate calling program to connect with businesses one-on-one and help respond to challenges and 

opportunities. 

Working behind the scenes to promote business success and growth 

In addition to delivering programs and services to support business, the City’s Economic Development team also works 

behind the scenes to promote the health and growth of Toronto’s key sectors and the business community as a whole by 

advocating for businesses on city-wide policy issues and working with industry stakeholders to grow sectors, assist with 

workforce training and development and advise on industry trends and regulatory issues. 

Financial incentives 

The Imagination, Manufacturing, Innovation, Technology (IMIT) financial incentive program supports the renovation or 

construction of buildings in Toronto. Sixty per cent of the increased property municipal tax revenue created by eligible 

new development in targeted sectors is granted back from the City to the property owner over the course of 10 years. As 

part of the IMIT program, the Brownfields Remediation Tax Assistance program also provides property tax relief to help 

companies clean up contaminated sites that are developed for non-retail employment use. 

In addition, the City has a range of other tax incentives that promote and reward both environmental and energy 

efficiency. 

Partnering to create vibrant commercial communities 

The City’s Business Improvement Area (BIA) Office provides Toronto’s network of over 70 BIAs with assistance to help 

create prosperous, competitive and safe business areas that attract shoppers, diners, tourists, and new businesses 

through: 

• Advice and consultation from dedicated specialists on new BIA creation, operation and expansion 

• Matching funding for streetscape beautification projects and financial assistance for mural projects and commercial 

façade improvements 

• Information about valuable incentives and support programs such as festivals, events, grants, graffiti removal and 

various capital programs. 

Supporting business start-up and growth 

Transforming an idea into a business and fostering its growth is not a straightforward process. To make it easier, 

Enterprise Toronto – the City’s one-stop source to start and grow a business – provides free assistance to entrepreneurs 

and small businesses through the following services and programs: 

• One-on-one business plan consultations 

• Business registration, name searches and incorporation 

• Business research assistance 

• Consultation regarding government programs, financing and incubation services 

• Business Forums, weekly seminars and unique training/networking opportunities 

Supporting small business success through incubation 

Business incubators play a key role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem by offering private office/studio space, shared 

industrial equipment, business advisory support, seminars, workshops, and so much more. The City supports 

community partners to deliver incubation programs focused on fashion, food, digital media, mobile, and other business 

activities.

The City maintains up-to-date and comprehensive economic information and business-related statistics to assist 

businesses in making well-informed decisions.

Summary Value Proposition for for Toronto 

FACTOR CITY REGION 


Toronto Port Lands Company (TPLC) was incorporated 

in 1986 as City of Toronto Economic Development 

Corporation. Its business model is loosely based upon 

similar corporations in the United States, Europe and other 

international centres. The corporation was designed to 

function as a self-financing, arms-length private company 

wholly owned by its sole shareholder, the City of Toronto. 

Previously operating as TEDCO, this public-private hybrid is mandated to fulfill public policy priorities (job creation, 

economic development and environmentally sustainable development) while operating as a nimble business entity. 

TPLC is the largest landowner in the port lands with more than 400 acres under management. Experience dealing 

with the legacy of area contamination has given TPLC the insight to continue as the environmental steward of the area 

working closely with government bodies as well as the private sector. 

Invest Toronto is your connection to the 

global business opportunities found in 

Toronto. As the company responsible for 

attracting inbound foreign direct investment 

into the City of Toronto, we offer one-on-one 

consultations to businesses and site selectors 

making global business investment decisions.
