Goals
To determine the average cost for starting up a SaaS technology company in Canada in its first year by category of business sector (such as marketing, accounting, R&D, legal) in order to make informed decisions.
Early Findings
SaaS Startup Cost

- A typical small business owner in Canada shells about $5,000 to $10,000 to initially build their small business.
- In the U.S. and Canada, the development costs range from $40 to $250 per hour.
- The lowest-cost SaaS business costs $15k to build.
- An advanced form-building and surveying system solution costs $85k.
- A directory service with advanced searching and an advanced admin area costs $30k.
Summary of Findings
- Our one hour of research provided some of the available figures on the amount spent by entrepreneurs in Canada to build startup businesses. However, the specific cost of building a SaaS business is not available.
- We also provided available figures on the cost associated with building a startup in the United States.
