A quick google search suggests that only small businesses earning over $30,000 a year need a GST #.

Any advice/help is much appreciated.
They might require her to set up as a sole proprietorship in order to pay her (need a company name) and that is about $115 I think at an Alberta registry. For GST, the google is correct and she won't need a number until she is making $30,000/year.
