By providing support and qualified introductions, members can build effective and lasting business relationships. The dedication of our ambassadors helps us build a vibrant business community. If you wish to meet an ambassador, please call Marisol Sanchez at (604) 412-0100 or email marisol@bbot.ca. The first step in starting a new business is applying for a business name. The Name Approval process determines whether the name you are intending to do business under is both appropriate and available. The BBOT's Business Services Desk is happy to assist you with completing the application form and will submit the material on your behalf. Certificates of Origin Certificates of origin are shipping documents that are sometimes required when exporting goods to certain countries. Often these documents must be certified by a Chamber of Commerce or Board of Trade. The BBOT's Business Services Desk can provide a stamp, seal and signature to certify Certificates of Origin for your export needs. Partner with the BBOT Members can take advantage of tailored packages that include a mix of communications, event, and brand partnerships with the BBOT.
