How is this scored?

PleaseNotes is a Toronto affirmation-journal and stationery brand founded by Cheryl Sutherland, selling guided journals, affirmation cards, sticky notes and stickers direct and through independent boutiques and Faire wholesale. Corporations Canada confirms PleaseNotes Goods Inc. is a federal corporation solely controlled by Sutherland from Toronto, but where the paper goods are printed and where the paper itself comes from is not disclosed anywhere fetchable.

Factors

Ownership

100.0 verified

CA 100%

Corporations Canada shows PleaseNotes Goods Inc. as a federal corporation incorporated in 2017 under the Canada Business Corporations Act, with founder Cheryl Sutherland as sole director and the only individual with significant control, both addressed in Toronto. The vendor's own privacy page names the operator as 'PleaseNotes LLC,' which conflicts with the federal registry; the registry is treated as the stronger source.

Manufacturing

31.0 inferred

CA 20% · other 70% · US 10%

No page on the vendor's site, including about, shipping and returns, and wholesale inquiries, names a printer, factory, or country of manufacture for the journals, cards, notepads or stickers, and neither the Canada List nor madeinca.ca has an entry for PleaseNotes. Absent any 'made' or 'printed in Canada' claim on a site that otherwise foregrounds its Canadian ownership, manufacturing is estimated as majority overseas, consistent with how small paper-goods brands commonly contract printing; this is an estimate, not a finding.

People

100.0 verified

CA 100%

The federal registry lists both the registered office and the sole director and individual with significant control, Cheryl Sutherland, at Toronto, Ontario addresses, and no other office or team location was found on the site or in press coverage. This reads as a single-site, founder-run brand.

Inputs

26.0 inferred

CA 20% · other 60% · US 20%

No page identifies where paper stock or other materials come from. Inputs are estimated to track the same unverified overseas-leaning manufacturing picture, with a somewhat larger Canadian and US share reflecting Canada-based fulfillment and the shorter shipping window the vendor quotes for domestic orders; this is an estimate, not a finding.
