Services for
established Alberta businesses
I help established, owner-led businesses find funding, tax credits, contracts, markets and new revenue opportunities, then decide which are worth pursuing.
Four ways to work together, and a page for each place I go deeper.
Fixed fee, not a percentage of what you receive. No guarantees. Free 25-minute call, no pitch.
Wherever you want to take the business.

Fixed fee. No guarantees.
- Every engagement is a fixed fee, scoped to the actual problem and agreed before work begins.
- I never take a percentage of funding you receive or contracts you win.
- Lenders and program administrators make funding decisions, and buyers award contracts. No outcome is guaranteed.
- If nothing is worth pursuing, I'll tell you.
The advice stays pointed at what is worth pursuing, not at what pays me most.
