Additional information
This interactive dashboard presents selected data from the Rural Canada Business Profile (RCBP) database, developed based on business tax returns filed with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The RCBP database was first released on March 11, 2022. A reference year for the RCBP database spans from January 1 to December 31, and it includes data from 2017 reference year onward.
The definition of "rural and small town" and "functional urban area" adheres to Statistics Canada's Standard Geographical Classification (SGC). Businesses within census metropolitan areas or census agglomerations are categorized as functional urban area, while those outside are designated rural and small town. The 2017 to 2021 iteration of the RCBP database aligns with the 2016 SGC . From the 2022 reference year, geographies align with the 2021 SGC.
Small-sized businesses are defined by annual revenues ranging from $30,000 to $5,000,000; this group includes incorporated and unincorporated businesses. Medium-sized businesses are defined by annual revenues between $5,000,001 to $20,000,000; and are exclusively incorporated businesses. Businesses with higher annual revenues are not included in the RCBP database.
Key variables featured in this interactive dashboard include business counts, revenue, expenses, and balance sheet items. Data are organized by geography (Canada, regions, provinces and territories), location (RST area, and functional urban area), industry (according to the Northern American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code), and businesses incorporation status (unincorporated, incorporated and all businesses). The 2017 version of the NAICS is used for the RCBP database from 2017 to 2021. For the 2022 RCBP onwards, the 2022 version of the NAICS is used.
The RCBP database covers all regions of Canada and all industries, excluding finance and insurance and public administration (based on the NAICS code). For small-sized businesses, data are available at the Canada, region, and province or territory levels, and by RST and functional urban area. For medium-sized businesses, data are available at the Canada level and by RST and functional urban area.
