Launch services, matched to the stage you are at

Launch plan and market check

Choose this if you have an idea and a rough location but no proof that people will pay. It answers the questions a bank, a landlord or a partner will ask you anyway: who exactly buys, how many of them live or work within reach of your location, what they pay competitors now and what price keeps you alive.

A typical sign you need it: you are about to sign a lease or spend on branding, and your evidence is mostly enthusiasm from friends. The output is a short written plan and a go, adjust or stop recommendation. Full details are on the launch plan page.

Pre-launch setup roadmap

Choose this if the idea is settled and you now face the paperwork and tool decisions. We put name screening, the BC name request, registration, the City of Burnaby business licence, the business bank account, GST timing questions for your accountant, insurance, phone numbers and software into one dated list.

Every government step is linked to the official page, and every professional question is flagged for the right professional. We don't give legal or tax advice, and we don't file anything for you. What we prevent is the common, costly ordering error, like printing signs before the name is approved. See the setup roadmap page.

Launch website and Google listing

Choose this if your opening date is set and nobody can find you online yet. We build a small, fast website and help you set up and verify a Google Business Profile, so that the first person who hears about you and searches can call, text or email you within seconds.

The trap here is building too much. A new company needs five or six good pages, not thirty, and it needs the right ones: what you do, who for, where in Burnaby, what it costs or how pricing works, and how to reach you. The launch website page explains the scope.

Opening campaign: the first 100 days

Choose this when you are open, or within a few weeks of opening, and need customers rather than plans. We write a 100-day campaign with a spending ceiling worked out from what a customer is worth to you, then run or coach it week by week.

For a storefront near a Town Centre that might mean local search, a launch offer and neighbourhood partnerships. For a B2B firm in Big Bend or Discovery Parks it is more likely a target list and direct outreach. The opening campaign page shows what is included and how we measure it.

How to choose in two minutes

Ask yourself three questions in order:

1. Do I have evidence that strangers will pay my price? If not, start with the market check.
2. Do I know every setup step and its order? If not, take the roadmap.
3. Can a customer find, trust and contact me today? If not, build the website and listing, then run the campaign.

If you are unsure, the free 30-minute consultation is meant for exactly this question. You can see prices on the pricing page, read how launches have gone for others on the results page, or start with the free step-by-step launch sequence guide.

What none of the services include

To keep expectations clear: we don't provide legal, accounting, tax, immigration, engineering or inspection services, and we don't apply for permits. We also don't promise a number of customers by a date. We promise a written plan, honest measurement and a straight answer when something isn't working.
