About Peninsula Canada
Peninsula is a worldwide trusted small business advisor. We help small businesses in Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, taking care of the details and leaving you free to see the big picture, all for a fraction of the cost of most professional service providers, thanks to our affordable membership options.
When you run a small business, the most valuable commodity of all is the hardest one to find: time.
Time to concentrate on doing the things you do best. The things that made you set up in the first place. The things that make your business grow. Because nobody sets up a business to spend their time learning about employment-related matters. Nobody except us, that is.
