Government and Agency Partner Testimonials
As an arm of the Ontario government, SBEC’s provide entrepreneurs with all the tools they need to start and grow their businesses. Presently, there are 60 locations across the province. Our location assists on average 600-700 inquiries a month regarding small business programs and services. Your brochures would certainly act as a catalyst in ensuring that the small business legal inquiries are being answered to correctly and efficiently. Based on the volume of inquiries received at the SBC, I would like to ask that you forward as many brochures as you are capable of. If you have enough, perhaps I can make arrangements to receive 60 boxes, one for each location.

I have just discovered your site from a link on the Ministry of the Attorney General website. I work in a GIC, which is under the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services. We provide free information services to the general public and small businesses through walk-in and telephone access, as well a fairly extensive array of free publications, on all levels of government services. I think your guides would be a beneficial addition to our resources. There are presently over 50 Government Information Centres open across the province, and we regularly share our resources.

We are a one-stop source of business information for entrepreneurs. This month we are celebrating our Grand Opening and would appreciate Legal Line brochures to include in our “Start a Small Business” package. I have seen the poster while visiting the Windsor Self-Help Office and it is indeed impressive. If possible, I would like 2 boxes of the brochures as we have many partners that would also be interested in having these on location.

I learned about Legal Line just now as I read through your website but the Region of Peel has been using your documents way before I was around. Legal Line flyers and guides assist the clients we interact with on a daily bases. I am looking forward to receiving your materials (as the demand is so high we are running low).
The Region of Peel serves 1.3 million residents and approximately 88,000 businesses in Brampton, Caledon and Mississauga. With your assistance we continue to further assist those residents and businesses.
