Professional business consulting and coaching services to help optimize your small business
We provide onsite and remote business consulting and coaching services to existing small businesses in Canada. Our expertise and knowledge are based on the laws, taxes, and regulations related to Canada and an understanding of the Canadian market. See our local service area for onsite services at the bottom of our website pages. Most of our clients today are in the Greater Toronto Area and throughout Southwestern and Southeastern Ontario from Ottawa to the Manitoba border. We are willing to offer onsite services to those outside our local service area, but travel expenses will need to be included in the quotation. Most of our business services and help are provided virtually through online coaching and consulting, which is how we have provided support for those remotely in northern Ontario and other provinces.
Our business coaching and consulting engagements tend to be more strategic than tactical and focus on helping business owners with their overall business, such as obtaining financing, improving business performance or value, or growing or turning their business around. We can provide tactical consulting if needed to clients we are already engaged with through a strategic engagement. We do not market ourselves as tactical consultants.
Our target customer is an owner-operated business in Canada with under 100 employees and less than $30M in revenues.
All business coaching and our 2-hour advisory services are provided online via Zoom, and our 1-hour advisory service is provided by phone.
We can also provide services to businesses looking to start a new business in Canada. The only requirement is that someone in the company has residency in Canada or has been granted residency and has a Canadian Bank Account. We cannot help businesses that do not meet those criteria as that is the minimum criteria of the Canadian government.
