We&#8217;ve taken their feedback and insights to heart, resulting in a database and platform that truly caters to their needs.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Safe and Trusted Canada is currently accredited.\u00a0 See the link to the Better Business Bureau.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbb.org\/ca\/sk\/saskatoon\/profile\/digital-marketing\/safe-and-trusted-canada-0167-15601\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0See our report.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Businesses may apply for account status.\u00a0\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandtrusted.com\/for_business_subscription_types.php\">See all Subscription Types<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We look for companies with credentials. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Trusted-Factors.pdf\">Trusted Factors<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What are the signs of a Credible Business?\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/safeandtrusted.com\/content.php?id=23977\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">See More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>1. Safe and Trusted Canada gives consumers the tools and transparency they need to make informed decisions when selecting businesses.\u00a0 This Site provides a platform where business owners can share their business and\/or contractor credentials with consumers through account access.\u00a0 Consumers can review credentials, review sites, social media and affiliations freely.\u00a0 \u00a0The Site starts with an Information-Only profile that contains information readily available about the business on the internet.\u00a0 The business owner can place all their credentials and explain why consumers should pick them with a free Basic Subscription.<\/p>\n<p>2. Businesses can apply for other subscription options.\u00a0 \u00a0Each subscription level gives the business owner greater exposure and control over their information. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandtrusted.com\/for_business_subscription_types.php\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">See all subscription types<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0The business can fill out the attached application for each subscription type. \u00a0The business owner can also contact our admin through the Chat Widget.\u00a0 \u00a0Each business can ultimately have its own account to provide and manage its own information and credentials.\u00a0 The business owner creates an account, or Safe and Trusted Canada creates an account on behalf of the business and provides the owner with a username and password to access their profile.\u00a0 The business owner can change their password at any time for privacy and security.\u00a0 Once logged in, the owner can update business details, upload documents and maintain the accuracy of their information. Our goal is to have the business in charge of its own information at all times.<\/p>\n<p>3. A listing may be archived if the business fails to update or manage its information, ceases operation or requests removal. Information-only profiles may be removed at any time without contacting the company if it is inactive or unverified.\u00a0 If a business requests removal, Safe and Trusted Canada will archive the listing. Archiving removes the business from public view but prevents accidental re-listings in future updates. Archived records are retained internally for administrative purposes only.\u00a0 Businesses that maintain an active account and accurate information remain listed according to their current subscription level.\u00a0 Safe and Trusted Canada recognizes that Restaurants. Hotels and other hospitality businesses differ from credential-based service providers.\u00a0 These listings are retained to preserve consumer choice, particularly in small communities, and rely primarily on ratings and public reviews from multiple platforms.<\/p>\n<p>4. At Safe and Trusted Canada, we believe consumers deserve choice &#8211; not artificial limits.\u00a0 That is why\u00a0 Safe and Trusted Canada allows unlimited listings across all business categories and trade areas. Safe and Trusted Canada does not believe in restricting options to create artificial scarcity or pressure participation. Every credible business can appear on our platform, ensuring consumers have access to as many options as possible. \u00a0While listings are unlimited, businesses that verify credentials and maintain active subscriptions receive enhanced placement, more detailed profiles, and greater exposure to consumers who are ready to buy, not just price shop.\u00a0 Our approach combines open access with trust-based credibility, ensuring fairness for businesses and confidence for consumers. Subscriptions are on a first-come, first-served basis, with the Professional Subscription being viewed first.\u00a0 For example, a roofer who applies for a professional subscription will be seen after all other roofer applicants in that trade area.\u00a0 They will retain that advantage for as long as they renew their subscription.\u00a0 \u00a0Consumers can still look at credentials to change their view, so as an example, a roofer with 10 years in business as a credential will be seen before a roofer with 5 years in business if the consumer sorts by credentials.<\/p>\n<p>5.\u00a0 Safe and Trusted Canada provides Information Only profiles at no cost and is limited in content. These profiles are intended for basic consumer reference only and may be removed at any time.\u00a0 \u00a0 A business with an Information Only profile that is no longer in business can request removal at any time.\u00a0 A company with an Information Only profile can manage their complete profile at no cost with a free Basic Subscription. If the company does not have a subscription, it can use the Chat Widget, as this is the quickest way to communicate with our admin staff.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/safeandtrusted.com\/content.php?id=8330\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">No Risk to the Business Owner.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>6. Safe and Trusted Canada has a detailed search engine that is different from other systems.\u00a0 For example, Google uses an algorithm to show businesses closest to the user&#8217;s location. Our system enables businesses to list their credentials through account status.\u00a0 Users of Safe and Trusted Canada can look up businesses with verified credentials entered into the business profile by the business owner.\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Business-Credentials.pdf\">Business Credentials<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>7.

See how our new search options work.\u00a0\u00a0Our system enables businesses to list their credentials through account status.\u00a0 Consumers can use our Credentials list to check contractors that are not on our system.\u00a0 This will provide them with additional information for their use.\u00a0 \u00a0The site&#8217;s home page indicates that consumers can search for an entire city at a glance, with all categories and subcategories.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.safeandtrusted.com\/content.php?id=23241\">Search for City Trade Areas.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>8.\u00a0 The home page of the site indicates that the consumer can use our new search options.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/safeandtrusted.com\/content.php?id=25636\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">New Search Options<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>9. There is one application form for all businesses in Canada. <a href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Credibility-Matters.pdf\">Credibility Matters<\/a>\u00a0 To further engage with the platform, a business can apply for an account to post and manage its reviews, providing detailed feedback rather than just the aggregate score.\u00a0 This system <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">enables\u00a0<strong>companies to actively<\/strong> manage their profiles while maintaining a streamlined and<\/span> easily accessible information hub for consumers. \u00a0 Safe and Trusted Canada allows businesses with an Information profile to update their details through account access, ensuring accuracy and relevance. Key features of this account access include <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>free access<\/strong> for companies with a favourable profile without expecting a paid subscription later. Companies can update information as required, keeping their profile current. Businesses can request an account, provided they do not have an F rating with the Better Business Bureau and have not shown suspicious review data on Google.\u00a0 The Site is not obligated to provide account status to any business owner.\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>We do not deal with individuals claiming to represent the business as marketing staff<\/strong>.\u00a0 Please note that an account holder can manage multiple companies simultaneously. <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/How-to-Manage-Several-Businesses-with-One-Account.pdf\">How to Manage Several Businesses with One Account<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>10. The Site is a consumer-facing platform that displays businesses based on what consumers would readily find on the internet.\u00a0 Some internet information may not be accurate.\u00a0 \u00a0The Site features a chat widget, allowing a business owner to assist us in supplying up-to-date information at any time.\u00a0 You will find the blue chat widget in the bottom right corner of every page.<\/p>\n<p>11. Safe and Trusted Canada begins with an &#8216;Information Only&#8217; profile for a business, detailing links to review sites, social media, and other readily available internet resources.\u00a0 Review sites and links may contain both positive and negative reviews without sentiment-based filtering.\u00a0 This <strong>transparency<\/strong> allows consumers to make more informed decisions by seeing a comprehensive overview of a business&#8217;s online presence in one place.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/safeandtrusted.com\/content.php?id=4381\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">See more about the Information Only profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>12.\u00a0 A business with an Information profile can receive consumer reviews. However, the platform only displays the number of reviews and the total aggregate score to the consumer, not the individual review content.\u00a0 The consumer must be an actual client of that business.\u00a0 If the consumer is not an actual client, the review can be deleted at any time.\u00a0 Businesses with accounts can view the content and respond to the review or request the deletion of the review\u2014no more fake reviews.<\/p>\n<p>13. Safe and Trusted Canada includes links to various review sites, offering consumers access to external reviews, whether positive or negative.\u00a0 However, the platform does not interpret or filter any information from these review sites. The platform does not take ownership of the reviews; each linked review site retains control over its content and the review processing of its site.\u00a0 The Site provides access to 48 review sites that may impact the business.\u00a0 Please note that many review sites are organized by category.\u00a0 Hotels and Restaurants have numerous review sites linking to their business.\u00a0 Auto Dealerships have their review sites, and so do Contractors.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Links-to-Review-Sites.pdf\">Links to Review Sites<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Time-Out-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-17836\" src=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Time-Out-.jpg\" alt=\"Wait\" width=\"241\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>14. Businesses with an account status on Safe and Trusted Canada are provided access to their content management system, which contains <strong>13 different areas to manage and update their profiles.\u00a0<\/strong> All businesses are eligible for a Basic Subscription at no charge, enabling them to manage their listing and update their business profile.\u00a0 However, companies must meet specific criteria to maintain the platform&#8217;s integrity.\u00a0 The business needs to list its business credentials and demonstrate a history of properly addressing complaints.\u00a0 If a business fails to meet these standards, its account may be denied; however, an information-only profile will remain.\u00a0 \u00a0This system ensures that only qualified, responsible businesses can maintain accounts on the platform, thereby enhancing consumer trust.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/How-To-Place-Business-Credentials-Into-Your-Listing.pdf\">How To Place Business Credentials in Your Listing<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>15. Safe and Trusted Canada maintains impartiality by providing public links to well-known review sites, such as Google Reviews and the Better Business Bureau (BBB), as well as its platform. In addition, businesses and consumers can access links to up to 48 other trademarked review sites.\u00a0 However, when businesses apply for account status, they can unlink from review sites other than Google Reviews and Safe and Trusted Canada.\u00a0 The business owner with an account determines how they interact with consumers.\u00a0<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> <a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"http:\/\/admin.safeandtrusted.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Links-to-Review-Sites.pdf\">Links to Review Sites<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>16. Safe and Trusted Canada&#8217;s platform offers businesses with an account status the ability to highlight what differentiates them from their competitors, a crucial feature that many businesses overlook on their websites. This feature enables companies to better understand the platform&#8217;s value, thereby maximizing their visibility and differentiating themselves from competitors. <a href=\"https:\/\/safeandtrusted.com\/content.php?id=4385\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">See the Basic Account.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>17. Safe and Trusted Canada&#8217;s platform provides business owners with account access to several options to enhance their profiles by listing important information.\u00a0 This includes links to their affiliations, such as professional associations or certifications.\u00a0 This includes their business website and other relevant customer contact information.\u00a0 The ability to use the Safe and Trusted Logo as a link from their website, directing visitors to their profile on Safe and Trusted Canada while enhancing credibility and visibility for all business subscription levels. This setup <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>improves the business&#8217;s online presence<\/strong> and fosters consumer trust by showcasing affiliations and linking to a reputable, impartial<\/span>\u00a0platform.<\/p>\n<p>18. Safe and Trusted Canada provides premium subscription holders with expanded presentation options to showcase their business more effectively. The ability to upload up to 10 PDFs, such as brochures, certifications, or detailed product\/service information.\u00a0 The ability to upload 20 images to visually represent the business and its offerings. The ability to upload up to 10 YouTube links enables companies to share a variety of video content, including advertisements, tutorials, and customer testimonials.\u00a0 The ability to place in up to 20 trade areas enhances visibility across multiple categories and locations.\u00a0 These expanded options give businesses a <strong>distinct advantage<\/strong> by making more information readily available to consumers, helping them make informed decisions more quickly.<\/p>\n<p>19.\u00a0 Safe and Trusted Canada differentiates itself by organizing business listings based on subscription type and date rather than the distance from the consumer to the business. This approach ensures that businesses are consistently listed to reflect their subscription level and the listing date, providing a clear and fair hierarchy. When consumers search for credentials, the results automatically display businesses based on their subscription type and listing date.\u00a0 This method allows consumers to find exactly what they&#8217;re looking for without the added complexity of distance-based listings. Unlike many other providers, Safe and Trusted Canada offers a <strong>higher level of searchability,<\/strong> enhancing consumers&#8217; overall user experience.<\/p>\n<p>20. Safe and Trusted Canada\u2019s Professional Subscription enables businesses to establish direct links to their website and specific site sections. This feature allows consumers to easily access relevant information directly from the business profile.\u00a0 For other subscription levels, businesses can still link directly to their website. Still, consumers must copy and paste a link into their browser to view content for specific sections of the website.\u00a0 This distinction in linking capabilities <strong>enhances the accessibility<\/strong> of information for consumers with a Professional Subscription, streamlining their experience and encouraging engagement with the business&#8217;s offerings.<\/p>\n<p>21. Safe and Trusted Canada is <strong>committed to transparency<\/strong> by stating that it does not validate, recommend, or accredit any business. This reminder appears on every business profile to ensure consumers and businesses understand the platform&#8217;s role.\u00a0 The primary purpose of Safe and Trusted Canada is to provide accurate information from a variety of sources rather than relying on a single source. This approach empowers consumers to make informed decisions based on a comprehensive view of available data. In contrast, many other providers may imply that their platform is the sole source of information, potentially limiting consumer exploration and understanding.\u00a0 By fostering a multi-source information environment, Safe and Trusted Canada aims to enhance consumer trust and encourage thorough research before making decisions.<\/p>\n<p>22. Safe and Trusted Canada communicates that all transactions and interactions between consumers and businesses are strictly the responsibility of those entities. The platform d<strong>oes not engage in mediation or arbitration services<\/strong>.\u00a0 This information is prominently displayed on every business profile, ensuring that both consumers and businesses are aware of the limitations of Safe and Trusted Canada\u2019s role.\u00a0 By establishing this clear boundary, the platform reinforces that it acts solely as an information hub, leaving the management of business-consumer relationships to the parties involved.\u00a0 This approach promotes transparency and accountability, enabling consumers and businesses to engage directly without relying on the platform for intervention.<\/p>\n<p>23. Safe and Trusted Canada enhances the consumer experience with its automatic search functions, which filter results based on user-defined criteria for credentials. This functionality allows consumers to narrow down their searches effectively. Consumers can use the identified credentials to request Quotes from businesses, enabling direct inquiries about services or products.\u00a0 The Equote system is exclusively available to premium subscription holders, providing valuable leads at no additional cost to the business owner.\u00a0 <strong>Business owners have full contro<\/strong>l over their participation in the Equote system, deciding whether they wish to receive leads based on their preferences.\u00a0 In contrast, many other providers often charge substantial fees for leads and typically lack the sophisticated search functions that enable consumers to focus on the specific credentials they find most appealing. This makes Safe and Trusted Canada a more consumer-friendly and cost-effective option for businesses and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>24. Safe and Trusted Canada <strong>does not assign automatic grades or star ratings<\/strong> to businesses, distinguishing itself from many other platforms that use simplistic or weak criteria for evaluation. Credibility is assessed based on various robust factors rather than a single rating system.\u00a0 By refraining from assigning grades, Safe and Trusted Canada promotes a more nuanced understanding of each business, encouraging consumers to consider multiple aspects of credibility and reliability.\u00a0 This approach ensures that consumers receive a comprehensive view of a business\u2019s standing rather than relying on a potentially misleading or oversimplified rating.<\/p>\n<p>25.\u00a0 Safe and Trusted Canada distinguishes itself <strong>by not using algorithms<\/strong> to determine business visibility or ranking. In contrast, some providers frequently modify their algorithms to promote ads, leading to inconsistencies in how businesses are presented. One key feature of Safe and Trusted Canada is that it relies solely on human review, ensuring that business listings are based solely on subscription types and listing dates<strong>. <\/strong>The platform operates without advertisements, offering a clean and straightforward user experience that prioritizes the quality of information over promotional content.\u00a0 This model fosters transparency and trust, allowing consumers to access reliable information without the influence of shifting algorithms or paid placements.<\/p>\n<p>26.\u00a0 On Safe and Trusted Canada, the <strong>distinctions between subscription types<\/strong> are primarily based on the number of subcategories a business can be listed under, allowing for broader visibility in relevant fields. The number of trade areas where a business can appear enhances its reach to potential consumers in various locations. The position in the database impacts how prominently a business appears in consumer searches. Notably, the subscription type does not indicate the credibility of a business. This separation ensures that consumers can evaluate businesses based on their merits and relevant information rather than their chosen subscription level. This approach promotes a fair and transparent environment for both businesses and consumers.<\/p>\n<p>27.\u00a0 On Safe and Trusted Canada, all <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Information-Only profiles\u00a0are organized\u00a0alphabetically within their respective trade areas. This ensures that consumers can easily find businesses based on name recognition. Account holders have <strong>an excellent platform for advertising and managing<\/strong>\u00a0their businesses<\/span>. Account holders can provide consumers with comprehensive information about the business, all in one place, enhancing the user experience.\u00a0 Account holders can share their business profile with potential customers using a single link, streamlining communication and outreach.\u00a0 The business owner can send the profile to the consumer via a single link. Additionally, each listing includes its actual traffic record, allowing business owners to track how many consumers view their profile. This data can help businesses assess their online presence and make informed decisions about their marketing strategies.<\/p>\n<p>28. Safe and Trusted Canada maintains that it <strong>does not harm any business&#8217;s credibility.<\/strong> A business&#8217;s credibility can be compromised only if it submits untrue content in its profile or lists business credentials it does not possess through its account. In such cases, the platform implements the following action: an Alert is placed on the business profile for 1 year, notifying consumers of the issue. <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">The business is\u00a0demoted\u00a0to an\u00a0Information-Only<\/span> profile, limiting its visibility and features.\u00a0 After one year, the business may be archived, but the alert remains visible to consumers during that time.\u00a0 It&#8217;s important to note that any credibility issues arise from actions taken by the business owner, not from Safe and Trusted Canada. Consumers are encouraged to notify Site Admin immediately if they notice a business advertising credentials it does not possess, to ensure the platform&#8217;s integrity. This process promotes accountability and transparency for all listed companies on the site<\/p>\n<p>29. Safe and Trusted Canada now <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">offers software options for reputation management\u00a0and\u00a0social media marketing. These tools are <strong>competitively priced<\/strong> in Canadian dollars and\u00a0<\/span>designed to help businesses enhance their online presence and effectiveness. Business owners can access detailed reports that analyze their marketing performance, highlighting areas of success and identifying potential areas for improvement.\u00a0 The reports offer insights into where the business excels online and where improvements are needed, helping to understand why consumers might choose competitors.\u00a0 By utilizing these software options, businesses can develop targeted strategies to strengthen their marketing efforts and better engage with their local audience, ultimately leading to greater success in a competitive marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>30.

Safe and Trusted Canada <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">offers a superior platform for consumers to select contractors, while\u00a0<strong>also enabling competent contractors to effectively showcase<\/strong> their businesses<\/span>. Key features include an advanced credentials search designed for contractors, allowing consumers to find qualified professionals based on specific criteria.\u00a0 The platform separates contractors from one another, making it easier for consumers to differentiate between options and make informed choices.\u00a0\u00a0In contrast, many other providers fail to offer the same clarity and specificity, leading to confusion for consumers. Safe and Trusted Canada\u2019s focus on detailed contractor credentials helps ensure that consumers can confidently select the right contractor for their needs.<\/p>\n<p>32. A consumer can search for a business by province, city, business category, business credentials, contractor credentials,\u00a0 business name, business owner, and even the last four digits of a business phone number <strong>anywhere in Canada<\/strong>.\u00a0 The comprehensive search capability is automatically available to all subscription types, ensuring that every business listed can be found using specific and relevant filters.\u00a0 For businesses with a Professional Subscription, the advantages extend beyond just top listings in their city; they may also enjoy top listing advantages at the provincial level. This increased visibility helps attract more potential customers, enhancing their overall reach and presence in the market<\/p>\n<p>33. Safe and Trusted Canada now features a Discount and Promotions area and job posting capabilities in every business subscription. Businesses with a Professional Subscription can create and manage promotions directly on the platform, making it easy to attract new customers and boost sales.\u00a0 By offering exclusive deals and promotions, businesses can entice new customers to try their products or services while rewarding loyal customers for their ongoing support.\u00a0 Business owners can provide direct links to their websites that advertise job vacancies, facilitating recruitment.\u00a0 \u00a0Owners can upload a PDF outlining their expectations for suitable candidates, improving the clarity of their job postings.\u00a0\u00a0Importantly, all communication between potential staff and business owners remains solely with those entities, ensuring privacy and direct interaction. This comprehensive set of features helps businesses effectively market their services and manage their hiring needs.<\/p>\n<p>34. Safe and Trusted Canada facilitates reviews for all listings on its platform, ensuring that feedback comes from actual customers. Only individuals who have transacted with the business can leave a review, guaranteeing that feedback is based on genuine experiences. Business account holders have several options regarding reviews: they can post a review, respond to reviews, or request the deletion of a review if it contains abusive content or the reviewer is not a verified customer.\u00a0 Please note that the details of a review are not posted without the account holder&#8217;s explicit permission.\u00a0 Each account holder receives a QR code they can use to generate additional customer reviews, making it easier for clients to provide feedback. <strong>Reviewers can\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>submit only one review per business<\/strong> on the site and must have had direct interaction<\/span>\u00a0with the company.\u00a0\u00a0For Information-Only profiles, while reviews are present, only the number of reviews and the aggregate score are visible to consumers, ensuring transparency without revealing individual review content. This structured review approach helps maintain the platform&#8217;s integrity and trustworthiness.<\/p>\n<p>35. The Safe and Trusted platform offers multiple options that businesses can utilize without incurring high costs.\u00a0 Our top account, which offers unlimited content and placement in 20 trade areas with discounts, may cost just $43.28 per month.\u00a0 GST is, of course, added, and your investment is a legitimate business expense.<\/p>\n<p>36.
