- James Desrochers. About Us. 24 September 2012. "I find owning my own store to be very fulfilling. I'm not getting rich at it, but I can pay my bills. I only wish the small business owner, or Sole Proprietors of this country could be given a bit more of a leg up. As an example, being exempt from income tax on profits up to $100,000 per year for the 1st 3 years in business. Most small business owners would welcome this because it would give them a chance to hire tax paying employees, or to expand their operations, or to pay off start-up loans faster."
