How We Work

A simple, transparent process from first call to final delivery.

01

Free consultation - 30 minutes to understand your goals. We'll tell you honestly if we're the right fit.

02

Written proposal - Scope, deliverables, timeline and a fixed fee in writing. Government fees at cost.

03

Research & preparation - We research, draft and prepare your plan, filings or materials.

04

Review & revisions - You review every draft; revision rounds are included as stated in your proposal.

05

Delivery & next steps - Final files in editable formats, confirmations and a clear action list.

Transparent by Design

Clear commitments, and clear limits.

Our commitments

Fixed fees in writing, agreed before any work begins.

No hidden costs: government and third-party fees are passed through at cost, with receipts.

No success fees: our fees are never a percentage of money you raise.

You own your work once paid in full.

Confidential by default: NDA on request, personal information handled under PIPEDA.

What we don't do

We only provide services that don't require a separate professional licence. We don't provide:

Legal advice or legal documents.

Immigration, visa or work-permit advice.

Audit, review or compilation engagements.

Loan or mortgage brokering, finding investors or investment advice.

Recruitment, staffing or job placement.

Insurance, real estate or customs brokerage.

Trademark or patent filings.

When you need one of these, we'll tell you and, with your consent, connect you with an independent licensed professional.
