There are no forms: call, text or email only. ## Key pages - [Home](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/): BusinessConsultingService.ca runs complete consulting engagements for small and mid-sized Canadian businesses: a diagnostic first, then focused work on operations, finances, structure and growth, and support until the changes are in place. - [Services](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/): Start with the business diagnostic unless you can already name the problem and its cost. Each of the six services can run alone, but they are designed to connect, so the output of one becomes the input of the next. - [Areas we serve](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/): We run the same six-stage engagement for owners from Victoria to Iqaluit. What changes by region is the seasonal cash pattern, the registries and boards you answer to, the sales tax on our invoice and the shape of the local market. - [About](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/about/): BusinessConsultingService.ca is a Canadian consulting firm for owner-led SMBs and a member of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group. It is headquartered in Vancouver, BC, led by Ali Sedighi, MBA, and works in every province and territory. - [Results](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/results/): Our published results come from HVAC and heating businesses. They show a method (measure, choose few priorities, build structure, track return) rather than promising the same numbers in your sector. - [Pricing](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/pricing/): Hourly advice starts at $175, defined projects at $3,500 and monthly retainers at $2,500. The initial 30-minute consultation is free, and every engagement is priced in writing before work begins. - [FAQ](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/faq/): The questions owners ask most before an engagement, answered plainly: what it costs, how long it runs, who owns the work, how progress is reported and where our advice stops. - [Contact](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. A short text naming your sector and main issue is a good way to start; we take it from there and arrange the free initial consultation. ## Services - [Business diagnostic](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/business-diagnostic/): The diagnostic is a fixed-scope project that reviews your finances, operations, organisation and market, quantifies each issue, and ranks them so you spend effort where the money is. - [Financial clarity](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/financial-clarity/): We build three management tools for owners: a rolling 13-week cash forecast, true contribution margin by service line or customer group, and a one-page scorecard of the few measures that predict trouble. - [Growth strategy](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/growth-strategy/): We test the growth options you are considering (price, segment, channel, location, capacity) against your margins, cash and capacity, then help you commit to two or three moves and drop the rest. - [Implementation](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/implementation-support/): Implementation support is a monthly retainer in which we chair a steering meeting, keep the milestone tracker, solve the problems that block progress and report in writing, until the agreed changes are part of normal operations. - [Operations](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/operations-improvement/): We map how one workflow really runs, measure where time and rework go, redesign it with the people who do the work, and leave behind short procedures and a measure to watch. - [Organisation](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/services/organisation-and-roles/): We draw the structure your business actually needs, write down who is accountable for what and who may decide what, and sequence the next hires so growth stops depending on one person. ## Coverage - [Alberta](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta firms tend to grow fast in good years and discover their structure problems in slow ones. Our engagements here focus on fixed-cost discipline, receivables and an organisation that can flex with the cycle. - [British Columbia](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/british-columbia/): BC is our home province. Coastal firms fight rent and wage pressure, Interior and northern firms fight distance and longer winters, and both usually need margin clarity before they need growth. - [Manitoba](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba's economy centres on Winnipeg and leans on distribution, manufacturing and services that run all year. Our engagements here focus most often on process, inventory and the roles around a stretched owner. - [New Brunswick](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick firms serve three mid-sized city markets and a large rural area, often in two languages. Our engagements here usually focus on job costing, travel time and a lean structure that doesn't overload the owner. - [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Newfoundland and Labrador firms often live from project to project, with long supply lines and customers spread across an island and a mainland. Our engagements here focus on project margins, working capital and a structure that holds between contracts. - [Nova Scotia](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Nova Scotia firms tend to be busy in summer and stretched by hiring the rest of the year. Our engagements here often begin with seasonal staffing and pricing, then move to roles and a cash plan for the quiet months. - [Ontario](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario firms compete in the densest markets in the country, so price discipline and a structure that scales past the founder decide who keeps their margin. Those are the stages we weight most here. - [Prince Edward Island](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): On PEI, a business can know most of its market by name, which makes growth a question of depth rather than reach. Engagements here usually weigh pricing, product mix and the off-season more than new territory. - [Quebec](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/quebec/): Quebec has a deep base of family-owned firms, many approaching a generational handover. Engagements here often pair margin and process work with the organisation stage, so the business no longer depends on one person. - [Saskatchewan](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Many Saskatchewan firms sell into farm, mining and construction customers who pay on their own calendar. Our engagements here start with receivables and working capital, then move to process and roles. - [Territories](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/areas/territories/): In Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, a business's cash is often sitting in a warehouse or on a barge. Our engagements in the North focus on inventory timing, freight in pricing and a lean team that can cover for each other. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/): Six working guides, each built around one tool we use in client engagements, with formulas and worked numbers you can check against your own business. Read them, use them, and call only if you want a second pair of hands. - [Accountability chart](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/accountability-chart/): An accountability chart names one owner for every recurring outcome, and a decision-rights table says who decides what, up to which limit. Pair them with a two-week audit of the owner's hours and the first handoffs choose themselves. - [13-week cash forecast](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/cash-flow-forecast-13-weeks/): A 13-week cash forecast lists every dollar you expect to receive and pay, week by week, starting from today's bank balance. Rolled forward every Monday, it shows a cash squeeze six to eight weeks before it arrives, while you still have choices. - [Margin by service line](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/margin-by-service-line/): Split revenue by service line, subtract only the costs that line causes, and you see its contribution margin. In most owner-led companies one line quietly loses money before overhead is even counted, and the total profit figure hides it. - [Owner KPI scorecard](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/owner-kpi-scorecard/): A useful scorecard fits on one page, defines every number by an exact formula, names one person responsible for each, and colours each line red, amber or green against thresholds the business sets. Nine measures cover cash, profit, capacity, sales and quality for most service companies. - [Price change math](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/price-change-volume-math/): After a price increase, you can lose a surprising share of volume and still earn the same contribution; after a discount, you need far more volume than most owners expect. One formula tells you which, and by how much. - [Process mapping](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/guides/process-mapping-rework-cost/): Pick one workflow, walk it with the people who do it, time each step, and count how often work comes back. Multiply the correction hours by a loaded labour rate and you have a figure the whole team can act on. ## Optional - [Full text](https://businessconsultingservice.ca/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://sedighi.ca)
