Our Business Visitation program exists to enable Town staff to learn more about your business operation and the issues you may be facing so that we can provide information, resources and support to help your business to remain and expand in Orangeville. Your success is important to us.

The goals of the Business Visitation Program are:

• To demonstrate a pro-business attitude by developing a better understanding of our local businesses and providing an opportunity for improved communication and customer service to local businesses
• To help existing businesses solve problems by identifying, and where possible, removing barriers and by responding to business issues and concerns
• To provide businesses with information on the programs and services available to help them become more competitive

The process:

A comprehensive Business Survey will be sent to the business owner or senior manager of the company so that he/she can complete the sections that are most relevant to the venture.

Town staff will then set an appointment to meet with the business representative to conduct a one hour confidential interview in order to obtain comprehensive information on the issues and opportunities facing businesses in our community.

We'll learn about your business, explore your issues and target areas where the Town may be able to help.  

The program has been designed to answer many key questions and enable our interview with senior executives to:

- gain insight into the dynamics of Orangeville's economy

- understand the positive and negative attributes of Orangeville as a place to do business

- evaluate growth potential, risk of relocation or down sizing, level of satisfaction, and emerging trends

- develop value added services for Orangeville companies

- establish longer term economic and community development priorities that will support the Orangeville business community
