Service Broadcast – Comtec Computer Services

From Rakesh Sachdeva, Group 37

Maybe your desktop or laptop won’t boot. Or it is infected with some kind of persistent malware or virus. Perhaps Windows puts up a Blue Screen of Death every time you start a specific application.

We will backup your data, reformat your hard drive, reinstall Windows and any available updates and restore your data from a backup.

All this for $75, a $150 value. This offer is valid until the 31st of May.

Please call 416-996-8418 or visit us at www.comtecservices.net for more information.

Web Portal Helps Businesses Save Time

McGuinty Government Making It Easier For Over 10,000 Businesses …

NEWS
April 13, 2012

Ontario is making it faster and easier for new and small businesses to get the services and information they need to start, operate and grow.

To date, more than 10,000 businesses have registered for the Province’s ONe-Source for Business service. The online portal provides quick and easy access to over 5,000 services and information from all levels of government, allowing small business owners to focus on creating jobs and competing in the global economy.

ONe-Source for Business helps business owners:

  •      find information about funding and grant programs
  •      create a virtual briefcase to securely access saved information at a later date
  •      complete and submit forms online, eliminating the need to mail them in
  •      find customized information about the permits and licences they need.

Making it easier for businesses to succeed with faster, more streamlined services is part of the McGuinty government’s plan to create a vibrant economy.  A strong economy creates jobs for Ontarians and protects the services that matter most to Ontarians – health and education.  .

QUOTES

—              Allan O’Dette, President and CEO, Ontario Chamber of Commerce

“A system like this is really helpful for a business like ours.  There are never enough hours in my day, but ONe-Source for Business gives me more time with my customers and gets me home to my family sooner.”
— Ajmer Pabla, Owner of Brar Sweets & Restaurant
