Montreal: where the world of finance never sleeps

Montreal ranks first among Canadian cities in venture capital investmentsOver the years, Montréal has carved itself an international reputation in the business world. Several major national institutions are head officed there, and a number of foreign banks are well established in the city, most notably the Bank of Hong Kong, the Banque Nationale de Paris, Citibank, Société générale and the National Republic Bank of New York.

In addition to the many head offices of banks, insurance companies and large financial groups, Montréal has over 50 venture capital companies, as well as more than 130 international financial centers (IFCs). IFCs, like mutual fund managers, benefit from significant tax incentives that both the companies and their employees are entitled to.

Taxation is designed to encourage companies to set up and operate in Québec. Québec’s corporate taxation system and consumption taxes are among the most advantageous in North America.

And as Montréal ranks first among major Canadian cities in venture capital investments, companies that wish to establish themselves in Montréal can have access to venture capital.

Metro Montréal is the place to do business!
