Toronto business by the numbers

2,794,356 residents

Toronto had 2,794,356 residents in the 2021 Census, up from 2,731,571 in 2016, according to Statistics Canada.

109,280 employer businesses

In June 2026, Statistics Canada counted 109,280 businesses with employees in Toronto. 67,277 of them had 1 to 4 employees, so most Toronto employers are small teams.

Services lead the count

Professional, scientific and technical services (19,500), health care and social assistance (13,049) and retail trade (9,683) were the most common types of employer business in Toronto.

Many owners work for themselves

The 2021 Census counted 239,925 self-employed people in Toronto's labour force, or 15.8%. These owners are often the same person who answers the phone and does the work.

What competition on Google looks like in Toronto

When a Toronto customer searches for an accountant, a clinic or a contractor, Google Search and Maps show many nearby options at once. With 19,500 professional services employers and 13,049 health care and social assistance employers in the city, being listed is only the start: your details have to be right and your reviews have to be current.

Google Business Profile management keeps your hours, services, photos and posts accurate. Google review management asks every customer for a review and replies to each one, and business listings management keeps your name, address and phone number identical on Apple Maps, Bing, Facebook and Yellow Pages Canada.

Toronto neighbourhoods and the calls they bring

Financial District

The Financial District has its own Business Improvement Area. Small firms there are often in meetings when a prospect calls or fills in a web form, and lead follow-up makes sure each inquiry gets a prompt reply.

Queen Street West and Kensington Market

Both are Business Improvement Areas on the City's list. Salons, studios and repair shops in districts like these can fill their calendars with online booking and appointment reminders, so customers pick a time without phoning.

St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District

St. Lawrence Market District is the only municipal market operating in Toronto, and the City describes the Distillery District as a European-style walking and patio district with galleries, theatres, cafés and restaurants. Visitors to both often check hours and directions on their phones before they go.

After closing time

Calls do not stop when the shop closes. The AI Phone Receptionist answers day and night, takes down the caller's details and alerts you, so you can call back the next morning.

Services for Toronto businesses

Start with the gap that costs your Toronto business the most: missed calls, a thin Google profile or a calendar that runs on phone tag.
