What telemarketers require licences?
A. All telemarketers who conduct business in British Columbia or who contact consumers in British Columbia by telephone or fax for the purpose of entering into a distance sales contract are subject to the Telemarketer Licensing Regulation. As well, all telemarketers who initiate contact with consumers for the purpose of soliciting a consumer, on behalf or for the benefit of another supplier, for a contribution of money or other property by the consumer (i.e. third-party fund raisers) are subject to the regulation. The regulation falls under the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, which provides for the licensing of telemarketers.
