The Economic Benefits of Bilingualism for Your Small Business in Quebec


A business meeting where two men shake hands

In some regions of Quebec, and particularly in Montreal, French and English are spoken fluently. Indeed, the situation in la Belle Province is unique, as it is one of the few bilingual territories in North America. In such a context, communicating in French and English certainly presents excellent economic advantages for businesses. At Joseph Blain Inc., our skilled translators and interpreters can help you expand your horizons. Read on to learn more!

Increased Business Opportunities Add another string to your bow and increase your partnership opportunities through bilingualism. Don't just do business with French-speaking companies in Quebec (and perhaps New Brunswick, some European countries and a few places in Africa), but also with English-speaking ones. Consider that small and medium-sized companies operating in English, especially outside of Quebec and Ontario, may not always have contacts who can provide a helpful link in French. Expanding Internationally Why not get into international trade? After all, financial experts directly associate economic growth with trade with the rest of the world. But don't limit yourself to French-speaking countries because there's a whole world out there for you. And by the way, English is not your only option. Perhaps another language, from a country where the market is more suitable for your specific products, would be more appropriate. Services Offered by Joseph Blain Inc.
