Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my business show up on this list?

We obtained the following lists of businesses and amalgamated them into one list:

Community Services and Attorney General's list of Corporations
Provincial Treasury's list of vendors
PEI Business Development Inc. Directory of Manufacturers and Processors
Human Resources Development Canada's list of businesses
Evangeline Region Business Directory
Kings County business database (Active Communities)
West Prince business directory

In addition, the Visitors Guide and InfoPEI also contained information regarding businesses which were included in the directory. If you business appeared in one or more of these resources, it will appear in our Business Directory.

What is the purpose of the Business Directory?

The purpose of the PEI Business Directory is to provide a single comprehensive list of PEI businesses to Internet users. The anticipated uses of the list are to provide:

Islanders with a means of finding potential businesses
on and off-Island businesses with a means of locating suppliers or potential business partners
potential entrepreneurs with an indication of the businesses currently in operation.

What if my business is classified incorrectly?

We have done our best to ensure that the industrial classifications are accurate, however, there will be errors. To correct the industrial classification for your business, click on the Send us corrections for this information link that appears at the bottom of your business' listing.

What if I want to add more industrial classifications for my business?

To request that additional classifications be included for your business, click on the Send us corrections for this information link that appears at the bottom of your business' listing. New classifications will be added where appropriate, and at our discretion.

Why is there no description of my business?

We would like to have businesses provide descriptions through their own websites rather than relying on a government site to do so.

What do I do to get my name added to the list?

The PEI Business Directory is for those companies who have a physical location on PEI. If this includes your business, please complete our listing request form with the details of your business, including location and contact information and the nature of your business.

How do I get my business taken off the list?

To have your business removed from the Directory, please locate your business through the search engine here. On your business page, use the link at the bottom of the page and check the box beside 'Remove' then click 'Send Correction'.

Will the list be used for direct mail?

The list will not be distributed in whole or in part to anyone outside of the Government of PEI with the exception of those organizations who contributed to the development of the list.
