Canada’s Most Cost-Effective City
In today’s business climate, every corporate decision is measured by one standard—how it influences bottom line. So for businesses in Saint John, New Brunswick, important decisions usually comes easier. The reason? Saint John is the country’s most cost-effective city. Many companies, including major telemarketing operations, are moving in to take advantage of substantially more competitive operating costs for human resources, workers’compensation, telecommunications and business convenience.
1. In Saint John, city center rents run approximately one-third less than the national average. Downtown Class A office space ranges in price from the low to mid teens. Class B rents for much lower fees. Salaries cost an average of 23 percent less when compared to other major centers. These reduced costs and lower household expenses make for a winning combination where employers and employees both benefit.
2. From superhighways to future highways. Saint John has it all. Leading-edge technology supplied by companies like NBTel will link your firm to the world. Combine this technology with low-cost telecommunications rates and round-the-clock service, and you have three good reasons why national firms like Northern Telecom, Canada Trust and Meditrust now call Saint John home.
3. NBTel’s Competitive telecommunications rates can help an employer realize annual savings of 25 percent and more. Lower property and commercial taxes,Canada’s second lowest electric power rates, and no business of salary taxes make Saint John an ideal cost-saving location. In recent comparative studies to determine the least expensive city center, Saint John ranked number one compared to 27 U.S. cities.
4. Saint John means profitability and good business sense. To help companies considering business expansion or relocation, the newly created Greater Saint John Economic Development Commission is ready to take an active role in your evaluation process. General manager Steve Carson says the Commission’s role is simple: "We’re here to make it easier to set up or expand a business in Saint John."
