For the Experienced Entrepreneur

So, you’re an experienced entrepreneur, looking for a change of pace. Why not start over in L&A County?

We’re not going to lie to you . Living in L&A County will be an adjustment for people who have lived their entire lives in the city. Just think of all the things you’ll have to do without:

  • Traffic Jams: How long did it take you to drive to work today? How much of that time did you spend tied up in traffic? In L&A County, the towns are small, the roads are clear, and the driving is always easy.
  • Smoggy Skies: When you look up at night in L&A County you’ll see something you almost never see in the city: stars – hundreds and thousands of bright, shining stars that light up the clear night sky light a fireworks display.
  • Strangers on the Street: There are very few strangers in L&A County. With so many neighbours eager to get to know you, you’ll be among friends quickly. And that’s always good for business.

While the differences are undeniable, you don’t have to give up a lot to live here. People who have set up successful businesses in L&A County tell us that the small-town lifestyle affords them some exciting opportunities, for their businesses and their personal lives:

  • Real Estate Deals: Remember how much you paid for your two-bedroom condo in the big city? You’ll be surprised what the same amount of money can buy you here.
  • Customers at Your Doorstep: L&A residents are proud of their county, and they buy locally whenever they get the chance.
  • Everyday Getaways: Even if you live in the heart of downtown, the natural wonders of rural Ontario are within easy reach. That means you don’t have to save your favourite outdoor activities for vacation time anymore.
