Buying a technology & software business in Ottawa: what is different here
Licensing, inspection and land-use rules are municipal, so they change at the city limits — these are the ones that attach to technology & software businesses in Ottawa.
No municipal licence to inherit
Ottawa issues no general business licence, and nothing City of Ottawa licenses covers a typical technology & software business. Its by-law reaches “Food premises licence”, “Second hand goods shop licence”, “Taxi Licensing” and 7 more — none of which attaches to a technology & software business. The municipal step buyers expect largely does not exist here — which makes confirming the permitted use the step that actually matters.
City of Ottawa →Ontario charges a payroll health tax
Payroll is usually the largest recurring cost a technology & software business carries, which makes Ontario's Employer Health Tax a real line in the model rather than a footnote — an acquirer takes on the obligation along with the staff. Rates and exemption thresholds change, so check the province's current figures rather than the seller's last return.
Ontario Employer Health Tax →Confirming the use is actually permitted
A business operating today is not proof the use is legally permitted — non-conforming uses, expired variances and conditions attached to a previous owner all survive a sale quietly. In Ottawa that is confirmed before closing rather than after, through the office linked below.
City of Ottawa — Planning, Development and Construction →General information, not legal or tax advice — rules change and the authorities above are the current source. Deavo is a listings platform, not a brokerage.
