Industry Canada s BizPaL (http://www.bizpal.ca/) can help you find out which permits and licenses you ll need for photography business. BizPaL will also provide a personalized list of the business documents you need.The rate that you charge for your photography service is decided by you. You want to stay competitive with the market in your local area, and you want to cover your business expenses and still allow for profit. Do a little research to find out what other photographers are charging near you. Then figure out what your costs would be for any given photography job (supplies, equipment, overhead, transportation, etc) to establish your rates.
