Business Address

[Stephan]

I live in Howick, population of 1,500 and that includes the cows. Howick is 40 kms south of Montreal and that's the major market I'll be targeting. What I'm wondering is should I keep my business address as Howick?

Cons:
I'm afraid that potential clients won't see my company as a serious one or that it's too far to handle emergency calls, etc.

Pros:
Keeping my local address might help me in getting local contracts as they will be more inclined to support a local business.

Any thought s on this? Or am I worrying about nothing?

STB:
I might proceed along the lines of saying your business is located in the "greater Montreal area" with your business address as Howick, serving the communities of " (and name all the communities you want to. We essentially do this being in business close to Toronto.

Thanks for the advice Bill, looks like that is what I'll do.
