Doing Business in Alberta Entrepreneurship ☐ ☐ Alberta's dynamic and innovative business climate is evident by the growth in the number of small businesses. Although small businesses in Alberta have been hit hard by the recent recession, the number of employees in small businesses still grew by 8.1 per cent between 2011 and 2016, higher than Canada's 6.7% increase. According to Statistics Canada small firms with 0 to 99 employees account for about 40 per cent of Alberta's GDP. Alberta's small business corporate income tax rate fell to two per cent in 2017, and the small business income threshold is $500,000.
