Right now the economy in Quebec is in the Toilet !!!! People are losing jobs left and right and business are going belly up all over the place.
This is a reason not to open a business.
I had a business in the early 90's, was not prepared for it, lease costs ( $5,000 per/month plus mall extras for excess snow removal etc.), employees stealing ( constant ), accounting costs ( minimal $1,600 a year ), fucked up customers ( enough of them, plus my low tolerance to fucktards was not a good match. ). Ended up selling after 4 years of very long days ( 16 hr ).
Best of luck in what you do but check things out properly.
The medical pot business is taking a up swing recently, many applications coming in and long process but if you get accepted huge payouts.
