CFA’S ADVOCACY PRIORITIES FOR 2022-2023
- Educating Public Officials About Franchising
- Access to Labour for Franchisors and Franchisees
- Access to Capital
- Common Employer: Adopt the 4 Factor Test
- Ensuring a Fair Playing Field for Franchised Business under Environmental Legislation
Access to Capital: Allow RRSP Withdrawals for New Business
Our proposal would allow individuals to withdraw up to $100,000 from their RRSP/RESP accounts to make a down payment on the purchase of a new or existing business, without having to pay tax on the withdrawal. This proposal would allow individuals who are ready, willing, and able to start a business to unlock some of their retirement savings to purchase a new or existing business.
