Document background
The Business Solicitation Letter is a crucial document in Canadian business communications, designed to initiate professional relationships and present business opportunities in a compliant manner. It serves as the first formal point of contact between businesses, requiring careful attention to federal regulations such as CASL for electronic communications, PIPEDA for privacy protection, and the Competition Act for truthful representation. The document must be structured to include clear sender identification, value proposition, and necessary legal disclaimers. When used in Quebec or with federal institutions, bilingual requirements must be considered. The letter typically precedes more detailed business agreements and must maintain a professional tone while effectively communicating business opportunities.
