What Is Our Focus

We provide both business management consulting and business coaching with more of a focus on strategic engagements versus tactical consulting which is outlined above. Once we are engaged with a client and we are familiar with your business, we will provide tactical consulting as needed or refer you to one of our professional affiliates for services we do not provide.
Our business coaching and consulting services support existing small businesses that already have a business number. We do not have specific services for those in the idea phase. There are small business centres in most provinces that provide free or reduced-rate services to businesses in this phase. We are more than happy to provide a referral to businesses that are pre-startup.
Most of our customers are under 100 employees and under $30M CDN in revenue.
