Entrepreneurship in Canada with a Latin essence is to think about what immigrants from countries such as Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, etc. need and miss . To do so, it is necessary to know how to choose those typical items that reflect the culture, gastronomy and services that this community is looking for and appreciates to have at hand in a country as different as Canada.
In this article, I will mention some ideal businesses to start with, focused on the needs of the Latino population. In addition, I will give you the steps for a solid establishment and share a special video of my own experience as a foreign entrepreneur in Canada, which I hope will inspire everyone. Let's get started!
Latino immigrants to Canada often seek to start businesses that allow them to leverage their cultural knowledge, connections and, at the same time, meet the needs of their own community, but the truth is that native Canadians end up being good consumers as well.
Based on available information and general demand, some of the most sought after or high potential Latino businesses in Canada are as follows:
Food is very representative of Latin culture and immigrants yearn for our authentic flavors. The Canadian market is increasingly open to explore cuisines from all over the world, but there is nothing more attractive than being able to enter a restaurant specializing in Peruvian, Colombian, Mexican, Venezuelan, Argentinean, etc. cuisine and savor our recipes again.
As I mentioned earlier, there is a great demand for ingredients and commodities that are difficult to find in conventional supermarkets in Canada. For example, plantains, cassava, creole potatoes, specific varieties of beans, Latin spices, candies, traditional soft drinks, specialty flours, origin coffee, cleaning and personal care products of Latin brands, etc.,
What Latino in Canada does not long for the sweet bread and homemade desserts of their distant country? Everyone! Here, entire families seek the typical flavors of their homeland, their childhood and their loved ones. In Canada, it is profitable to establish a business of pan de bono, alfajores, conchas, tres leches, churros, empanadas de dulce, flan, etc.
Many Latinos in Canada seek the services of a hairdresser, manicurist, pedicurist, etc., hoping to get them as fast and in the same style as in their home countries, that is, that your employees are familiar with their hair types, skin types, and preferences. Here it is profitable to set up a beauty salon or barber shop with a specific cultural environment.
This is a sector that is in constant high demand, both residential and commercial, and is often occupied by immigrants. Word of mouth in the local community can be very effective, so it is a matter of identifying the niche, the growing need for this service and the business skills of each potential entrepreneur.
It is important to note that the success of any of these businesses will depend on thorough market research, a solid business plan, compliance with all Canadian regulations, good financial management and, of course, excellent customer service.
The most important thing about a venture in Canada is the solid and secure establishment from the beginning. If the business is identified and the proper assessment or market research has been done, the first legal step is to establish a business in Canada:
Start-up capital for a venture varies depending on the type of business. Some costs include:
Ontario: $ 1,200.00 CAD
Quebec: $ 1.200.00 CAD
Being an entrepreneur in Canada focused on Latino needs is a matter of strategy and planning. Many immigrants have succeeded, it is all a matter of finding your niche, taking advantage of your culture and adapting it to the competitive Canadian market.
