Answer
Danny,

I'd recommend you visit my website at http://www.adultwebsitelawyer.com and request our free adult guide on starting an adult business.  You may get a number of your questions answered there.

I cannot advise you the laws of Canada, however if you can provide me with some additional specifics related to the type of adult venture you're looking to start, I may be able to point you in the right direction.
