Control: Foreign (decisions)

FlexiSpot serves the Canadian market as an import-based brand under a foreign parent entity. The resulting True North score reflects that capital, strategic control, and manufacturing operations remain entirely outside of the Canadian economy. Retention is limited to the logistics and retail distribution of imported goods.
