How can the Business Navigator help?
✅ Provide information on how to register your business on Prince Edward Island.
✅ Identify Provincial permits, licenses and inspections that are required to operate your business.

Whether you have a new or existing small and medium-sized business, you can contact the Business Navigator to get support in:
- starting or growing a business;
- the regulatory landscape within PEI;
- finding and accessing the right resources and information; and
- connecting with a network of partners who can further support you.

The Business Navigator focuses on helping Islanders with Provincial regulations.
Please note that the following areas are not covered:
- Federal & Municipal requirements;
- advice;
- small business counselling or business planning;
