The Board of Directors of Spartan Business Services Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), is furnishing this Information Statement to shareholders in connection with a majority action of shareholders of the Company made by a written memorandum of action without a meeting of the shareholders effective October 12, 2010.

The actions approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company are:

(1) To amend our Articles of Incorporation to change our name to “Gunpowder Gold Corporation” or such similar name as determined by the Board of Directors as described in this Information Statement;

(2) To amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 70,000,000 shares, $.001 par value, to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value; and

(3) To authorize a ten-for-one forward split of its outstanding shares of common stock.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q:           What am I being asked to approve?

A: You are not being asked to approve anything. This Information Statement is being provided to you solely for your information. Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting common stock of the Company have already agreed to approve:

(1) To change our name to “Gunpowder Gold Corporation” or such similar name as determined by the Board of Directors as described in this Information Statement;

(2) To amend the Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock from 70,000,000 shares, $.001 par value, to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value; and

(3) To authorize a ten-for-one forward split of its outstanding common stock.

Q: Why have the Board of Directors and a majority of the shareholders agreed to approve these actions?

A: The Company has recently changed the character of its business to become a  precious metal exploration company and the Board of Directors believe that a change in the name of the Company is desirable to more accurately reflect the Company’s new business focus.

Q:           What is the Company’s new business focus?

A: The Company intends to seek the acquisition of mineral exploration properties. Although the Company is currently in discussions regarding a potential transaction, there is no definitive agreement (or executed letter of intent) regarding such transactions and no assurance that a transaction will occur. The Company presently has no definitive plans, proposals, or other arrangements, written or otherwise.

Q: Why have the Board of Directors and a majority of the shareholders approved a ten-for-one forward stock split?

A: The Board of Directors has determined that it is in our best interest to approve a forward stock split of our common stock on a ten-for-one basis (the “stock split”) so that for every one outstanding share of common stock before the stock split will then represent 10 shares of common stock after the stock split, with all fractional shares rounded up to the next whole share. The board believes that the stock split will result in greater liquidity for the Company’s common stock and that the Company’s stockholders will benefit from greater liquidity. As a result of the stock split, our common stock will likely trade in a less expensive price range, which may make it more attractive to prospective investors.

Q: When do you expect to complete these transactions?

A: Approximately thirty days after the date of mailing this Information Statement.

Q: Why is the Company seeking to increase the authorized shares of common stock from 70,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares of common stock?

A: The Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is in the best interest of the Company to increase the authorized number of shares of common stock in order to have sufficient authorized common stock to cover the proposed ten-for-one forward stock split of the Company’s common stock and to have a sufficient number of additional authorized shares available for future offerings of its common stock to provide capital for its growth, operations, and possible future acquisitions.

VOTING SECURITIES

General. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 70,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which 9,000,000 pre-split shares were issued and outstanding as of October 12, 2010, the Record Date. Each outstanding share is entitled to one vote. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date were entitled to notice. The shares of common stock are fully paid, non-assessable, without pre-emptive rights, and do not carry cumulative voting rights. Holders of common shares are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. Holders of common shares are entitled to share ratably in dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company from time-to-time, from funds legally available. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of shares of common stock are entitled to share on a pro-rata basis all assets remaining after payment in full of all liabilities.

The Nevada corporate law, NRS 78.320, permits stockholders to approve certain actions by written consent without the necessity of a shareholders meeting. The majority shareholder who owns approximately 55.6% of the outstanding shares of common stock has approved these proposals by written consent the actions described in this Information Statement.

Recent Changes in Control

Effective August 10, 2010, Mr. Neil Jason Pestell of Manchester, United Kingdom, acquired common stock of Spartan Business Services Corporation (“Spartan”) previously owned by Mr. Reno Calabrigo, the former principal Stockholder of Spartan. As a result of these transactions, Mr. Pestell became the controlling stockholder of Spartan presently owning 5,000,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock which represent 55.6% of its issued and outstanding Common Stock. As part of the transaction, Mr. Calabrigo agreed to resign as the sole director of the Company and to simultaneously appoint Mr. Pestell as the sole director of the Company, and agreed to appoint Mr. Pestell as the new Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company.

Current Stock Ownership

The following table sets forth information regarding the post-split beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of October 12, 2010, by:

- each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock;

- each of our officers and directors; and

- all of our officers and directors as a group.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that the person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him.

GENERAL INFORMATION

General Information Concerning the Company

The Company is a Nevada corporation formed on November 19, 2008. The Company’s securities are quoted on the over-the-counter electronic bulletin board under the symbol “SBUS.”

Outstanding Shares and Voting Rights

On October 12, 2010, the Company had 9,000,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001, issued and outstanding.

Upon filing of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State, the name change of the Company will become effective.

Approval of the Name Change

The proposed change of the Company’s name to “Gunpowder Gold Corporation” or such similar name as determined by the Board of Directors, is intended to convey more clearly a sense of the Company’s new business focus. Approval of the name change requires the affirmative consent of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Shareholders, including officers and directors, holding a total of 5,000,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 55.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, have already given their written consent.

Record Date

The close of business on October 12, 2010, has been fixed as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive this Information Statement.

Dissenters’ Rights of Approval

The Nevada corporate law does not provide any dissenters’ rights with respect to the matters contemplated in this Information Statement. Therefore, no dissenters’ rights of appraisal will be given in connection with these actions.

Expenses of Information Statement

The expenses of mailing this Information Statement will be borne by the Company, including expenses in connection with the preparation and mailing of this Information Statement and all documents that now accompany or may hereafter supplement it. It is contemplated that brokerage houses, custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries will be requested to forward the Information Statement to the beneficial owners of the Common Stock held of record by such persons and that the Company will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith.

AMENDMENT TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

The proposed amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation will cause the Company to change the name of the Company to “Gunpowder Gold Corporation,” or such similar names as determined by the Board of Directors. Upon filing of the Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, the name change will be effective.

The Nevada corporate law (NRS 78.010 et seq) (the “Nevada Law”) requires the approval of shareholders who hold at least a majority of the voting power present at a meeting at which a quorum is present to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change its name. The Nevada Law also permits actions that would otherwise require a vote at a meeting of shareholders to be taken by written consent of the holders of at least the number of shares that would be necessary to authorize such actions at a meeting (NRS 78.320).

A shareholder who owns approximately 55.6% of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, including officers and directors, have consented to amend the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to change its name to “Gunpowder Gold Corporation” and to increase the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 300,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value, or such similar actions as decided by the Board of Directors.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR IN

OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No director, executive officer, associate or any officer or director or executive officer, or any other person has any interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the Amended Articles of Incorporation, which is not shared by all other stockholders.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board knows of no other matters than those described in this Information Statement which have been approved or considered by the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s voting stock.
