Nonresident Starting Business

Wed, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Nicole Ortiz in Business And Financial News | | No Comments »

Yes, starting a business in Canada when you’re nonresident in Canada is possible – but certain requirements have to be met.

First, are you Canadian? If you are, then all you need is a Canadian address (not a Post Office box, but a real Canadian address). Then you can register your new business in the province that it’s located in.

If you personally have or establish a Canadian address and are a Canadian citizen, you can register your business as a sole proprietorship.

Or you could form a partnership with a Canadian living in Canada; then you can use his/her address for starting your business in Canada.

Another approach is to start an incorporated business.

TSX declines as Greek debt talks reach stalemate

Mon, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Shannon Cox in Business Tips | | No Comments »

Bank stocks were among the most heavily weighted decliners on the SP/TSX composite index on Tuesday as news of a stalemate in Greek debt negotiations dragged down Canada’s benchmark stock index.

The SP/TSX composite index dropped for the first time in five sessions, closing at 12,395.24, a loss of 126.47 points, or 1.01%. Nine of the 10 sub-indexes declined, with consumer goods the sole gainer. Industrials led the declines, falling 1.8% as Canadian National Railway retreated 4.7% to $75.86 despite hiking its dividend and reporting fourth-quarter earnings that blew past expectations. I

War of words over Greek debt heats up

Sun, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Joseph Ward in Business News | | No Comments »

The war of words between Europe and private investors heated up Tuesday as talks to reduce Greece’s massive debt burden hit an impasse.

While the finance ministers of the countries that use the euro as their currency adopted a tough stance on how much rescue money they would pump into the Greek economy, the head of the group that represents the country’s private creditors _ banks and other investment firms _ warned that the future of Europe was being threatened if a voluntary debt reduction deal over Greece was not agreed.

Charles Dallara, the managing director of the Institute of International Finance, warned that Europe is putting decades of progress at risk over the management of Greek debt-reduction talks, which stalled over the weekend.

“European stability is at stake as well,” Dallara said at a news conference in Zurich.

On the front line of Europe’s sovereign debt crisis, Athens is trying to get its private creditors to swap their Greek government bonds for new ones with half their face value, thereby slicing some euro100 billion ($130 billion) off its debt.

Academics, activists condemn firing of Maoz

Mon, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Nicole Ortiz in Business And Financial News | | No Comments »

Responses are pouring in to support former Excellence Investments Ltd. chief economist Shlomo Maoz, who was fired Wednesday, following a screed against Ashkenazim in a speech at the Sapir Academic College.

In a statement today, Sapir Academic College says, “The freedom of expression is a basic value in academia and individual rights. Some of the opinions made by Mr. Maoz were unpleasant to hear, and the college does not agree with most of them, but we strongly insist on the right of every person to express his position on the academic dais without losing his livelihood as a consequence.”

The college added, “The Sapir Conference on Alternative Politics is an important stage for the exchange of opinions and arguments about issues on today’s agenda in Israel.

Auditors not complicit in cover-up, says Olympus

Sat, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Shannon Cox in Business Tips | | No Comments »

OLYMPUS, the Japanese camera maker whose executives have admitted to covering up $US1.7 billion in losses, says its auditors, KPMG Azsa and Ernst & Young ShinNihon, were not complicit in the false accounting.

But the firms remain under investigation by authorities over their possible roles in the scandal.

A decision to clear the auditing firms could strengthen Olympus’ chances of staying listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, helping the company maintain access to equity capital and remain a going concern.

Any action to dismiss or sue Ernst & Young, its current auditor, could leave the company without a firm willing to audit its finances, jeopardising Olympus’ compliance with listing requirements.

Just how much Olympus’ auditors knew about the manufacturer’s scheme to hide losses, going back decades, has emerged as an important aspect of the continuing investigations into its finances.

Olympus sues execs over scandal, shares surge

Sat, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Shannon Cox in Business Tips | | No Comments »

TOKYO – Japan’s disgraced Olympus Corp is suing its president and 18 other executives, past and present, for up to $47 million in compensation, as it struggles to recover from one of the nation’s worst accounting scandals.

The maker of cameras and medical equipment said on Tuesday all board members subject to the lawsuit would quit in March or April, leaving it in the extraordinary position for now of continuing with its most senior executive, Shuichi Takayama, and five other directors it is suing for mismanagement.

One analyst likened the current board to condemned men, resigned to their fate, and said they would have difficulty over the next few months making any strategic decisions, leaving Olympus more vulnerable to an eventual takeover.

“Essentially, everyone feels they are on death row.

Shale Bubble Grows on Near-Record Prices for Untested Fields

Sat, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Nicole Ortiz in Business And Financial News | | No Comments »

Surging prices for oil and natural gas shales, in at least one case rising tenfold in five weeks, are raising concerns of a bubble as valuations of drilling acreage approach the peak that was set before the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.

Chinese, French and Japanese energy explorers committed more than $8 billion in the past two weeks to shale-rock formations from Pennsylvania to Texas after 2011 set records for international average crude prices and U.S. demand for natural gas.

As competition among buyers intensifies, overseas investors are paying top dollar for fields where too few wells have been drilled to assess potential production, said Sven Del Pozzo, a senior equity analyst at IHS Inc.

Slower growth in aerospace, defense in 2012

Sat, Jan 01, 2012  Posted by Joseph Ward in Business News | | No Comments »

Global growth in the aviation and defense industries is set to slow down this year, but the effect of the downturn on emergent arms industries in Brazil and Japan remains far from certain.

Data cited by industry analysts indicates the economic crisis rolling on since 2008 may finally be catching up with the aerospace and defense industries, with the military drawdown in Afghanistan and Iraq prompting drastic reviews of “war on terror” policies affecting demand.

The Iran crisis and vigorous defense marketing in the Persian Gulf are seen as factors likely to reverse some of the current trends, analysts said.
