Town of Olds — Business Counts
Number of Businesses in 2025
Businesses With Employees
These figures include businesses without employees (non-employers).
Statistics Canada’s Business Register counts all registered businesses, including sole proprietors and owner-operated businesses that do not maintain an employee payroll. Publicly available StatCan data at the community level typically reports only businesses with employees. Businesses without employees often represent 60–85% of all registered businesses, which is why these figures may be significantly higher than other published sources.
