Complementary services

Protecting the business and the people behind it

Beyond organization: business continuity, plus accounting and legal support.

New

Partner protection and business continuity

Two protections every company with partners should have in place, whether it manufactures, sells or provides services.

Shareholders’ agreement

The agreement that protects each partner according to their equity stake: what happens to a partner’s shares if they leave, become disabled or die, and how disagreements are resolved before they become a problem.

Key person insurance

Protection for the person the business depends on — the owner, a director or a hard-to-replace specialist — so operations can continue and commitments are met if that person is no longer there.

The agreement is drafted by a partner lawyer or notary. Insurance is placed through a licensed representative, with iA Financial Group or any other Canadian insurer, depending on what best suits the business.

New

Accounting and legal services

The offer is completed by the support of a partner accounting and law firm.

Accounting

The accounting support a business needs to operate in good standing and make decisions with clear numbers.

Legal

Legal support for the company’s formal matters.

Provided in collaboration with ECT Consulting, the firm of Nelson Ovalle Díaz and Martha Ovalle Díaz.

Grants

Part of your consulting fees may be subsidized

Several programs can cover part of a consultant’s fees, depending on the type of engagement.

The application is submitted by the business itself and must be approved before work begins. Our role: provide a detailed proposal and support you through the process.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

Who are your services for?

People starting a business and established SMEs — manufacturing, commercial and service companies — in Quebec and Ontario, especially in the Gatineau–Ottawa region.

How much do your services cost?

Every engagement is different. After a first conversation, you receive a written proposal setting out the scope, deliverables, timeline and fees. Nothing starts without your approval.

Can my consulting fees be subsidized?

Possibly. Services Québec, Investissement Québec and ID Gatineau, among others, offer programs that can cover part of consulting fees. The business applies itself, and approval is required before work begins; we help you prepare the application.

Can you guarantee I’ll get funding?

No. We prepare a strong file — business plan, projections, documents — and point you to the right programs, but the decision always rests with the institution or organization.

How long does a business plan take?

It depends on the complexity of the project and how readily your information is available. The timeline is set out in the proposal.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Meetings can take place in person in Gatineau and Ottawa, or online anywhere in Quebec and Ontario.

Is my information kept confidential?

Yes. Your information is used only for your engagement. Outside partners access it only with your consent and under a confidentiality commitment.
