The Unsure Entrepreneur

Ever feel like the big players in your industry have the game rigged against you? Find out how one government agency is working hard to level the playing field during this talk with Majid Charania, Director of Compliance & Outreach at the Competition Bureau Canada.

 

From price fixing and bid rigging to deceptive marketing and monopolistic practices, Majid shares eye-opening insights on what’s legal, what’s not, and how entrepreneurs can protect themselves. “Our work is meant to foster a situation where small and medium-sized businesses have an equitable opportunity to compete,” he explains.

 

The best part? Help is free. The Competition Bureau investigates complaints from small business owners at no cost, offering a direct line of support if you suspect a competitor is blocking your growth. “If you're feeling squeezed out of a market, we want to hear about it,” says Majid. 

 

Plus, the Bureau’s Compliance Hub is packed with free resources to help you avoid costly legal missteps and stay on the right side of competition laws. And March 2025 is Fraud Prevention Month which is an annual campaign to help you recognize, reject and report fraud.

 

Listen to this episode to learn how to spot unfair practices, protect your business, and make sure the rules work in your favour.
