Who it is for

New and aspiring Canadian founders โ€” especially product and import businesses โ€” who want a clear, honest path from โ€œI have an ideaโ€ to โ€œI am open for business,โ€ without wading through a hundred blog posts. If registration steps, GST rules, or landed-cost math have ever left you lost, this is for you.

  • How to validate your idea before you spend real money
  • Exactly how to register and set up your business in Canada
  • How to price for actual profit using true landed cost
  • The importing essentials โ€” duty, GST, freight and brokers
  • How to set up clean money systems and a tax reserve from day one
  • A 90-day plan to actually launch
