Coverage: Canada. Contact: call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. There are no forms: call, text or email only. ## Key pages - [Home](https://businessconsultation.ca/): BusinessConsultation.ca explains exactly what happens when you book time with Ali Sedighi, MBA: what you can raise, what you leave with, what it costs, and how to start with a call, a text or an email. - [Services](https://businessconsultation.ca/services/): Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute conversation. After that, the size of your problem, not a sales script, decides whether you need one session, a defined project or a standing advisor. - [Areas](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/): Consultations are held by phone, so an owner in Corner Brook or Cambridge Bay gets the same conversation as one in Vancouver. The main difference is the clock, and this page converts it for you. - [About](https://businessconsultation.ca/about/): BusinessConsultation.ca is a Canadian business consulting service in the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group, headquartered in Vancouver, BC. Every consultation is with its founder, Ali Sedighi, MBA. - [Results](https://businessconsultation.ca/results/): Our published proof comes from HVAC and heating companies. Here is each result, the business decision it reflects, and an honest note on what carries over to other industries. - [Pricing](https://businessconsultation.ca/pricing/): The first 30-minute conversation is free. After that, consulting is from $175 per hour, projects from $3,500 and retainers from $2,500 per month, in Canadian dollars plus provincial GST/HST (GST and QST in Quebec). - [FAQ](https://businessconsultation.ca/faq/): These are the questions owners actually ask before their first consultation, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, ask it in the free 30-minute call. - [Contact](https://businessconsultation.ca/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. There's no form and no booking widget: a person reads your message and replies, usually within one business day. ## Services - [Ongoing advisory](https://businessconsultation.ca/services/advisory-retainer/): Ongoing advisory is a monthly retainer that keeps Ali involved while you carry out a plan: regular check-ins, quick answers between them, and someone who remembers last quarter's decisions. - [Business review](https://businessconsultation.ca/services/business-review/): A business review is a fixed-price project with a written scope, milestones and deliverables. It suits problems with several moving parts that a single session can't untangle. - [First conversation](https://businessconsultation.ca/services/first-conversation/): The first conversation is a free, no-obligation phone call of about 30 minutes. Its job is to name the real problem and decide whether paid help is worth it, which is sometimes a no. - [Strategy session](https://businessconsultation.ca/services/strategy-session/): A strategy session is billable time with Ali on a single, clearly defined decision. You bring the numbers, he brings an outside view, and you leave with a written recommendation. ## Coverage - [Alberta](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta owners are an hour ahead of us, which makes a mid-morning or afternoon call easy. Most bring questions shaped by two big, competitive cities and the fast-growing communities around them. - [British Columbia](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/british-columbia/): BC is home base for the group, but a consultation works the same by phone whether you're in Surrey, Kelowna or Prince George. What differs is your market, and that shapes the questions worth bringing. - [Manitoba](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba owners are two hours ahead of us, so our day runs from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. Most Manitoba questions start with Winnipeg's dominance of the provincial market. - [New Brunswick](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick is four hours ahead of Vancouver, so our day runs from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Atlantic. That suits owners who'd rather talk once the working day is done. - [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): On the island of Newfoundland, our 9-to-6 Pacific day runs from 1:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Most consultations here are shaped by St. John's, a scattered rural market and Labrador's own conditions. - [Nova Scotia](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Our 9-to-6 Pacific day is 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Nova Scotia. Most consultations from the province start with one question: how much of the business should depend on Halifax? - [Ontario](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario owners are three hours ahead, so our day runs from noon to 9 p.m. Eastern. The province's crowded markets mean most consultations here are about standing out, not just being found. - [Prince Edward Island](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): On PEI, our 9-to-6 Pacific day becomes 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Atlantic. Island owners usually bring questions shaped by a compact market, a strong summer season and fast-moving word of mouth. - [Quebec](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/quebec/): Quebec owners are three hours ahead, so our day runs from noon to 9 p.m. local time. Consultations are normally held in English, and language is one of the first things worth discussing. - [Saskatchewan](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan keeps the same clock all year, so our call window shifts by an hour between summer and winter. The business questions we hear tend to be about serving big areas from small teams. - [Territories](https://businessconsultation.ca/areas/territories/): Northern owners can book the same free phone consultation as anyone in the south. The territories span several time zones, and their business questions are shaped by distance, small markets and short seasons. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://businessconsultation.ca/guides/): Three guides cover the before, during and after of any business consultation, with ours or anyone else's: what to prepare, what to ask, and how to make the advice stick. - [Decision log](https://businessconsultation.ca/guides/after-the-call-decision-log/): Advice only pays off when it becomes a dated action with a number attached. A simple decision log records what you decided, why, the first step and the measure that will prove it right or wrong. - [Prepare for a consultation](https://businessconsultation.ca/guides/prepare-for-your-consultation/): An hour of preparation can double what you get from a consultation. Gather five numbers, write one sentence about the decision you face, and list what you've already tried. - [Vetting a consultant](https://businessconsultation.ca/guides/vetting-a-business-consultant/): Before you pay any consultant, ours included, ask who will do the work, what they've done that you can check, how they'll measure success and what happens if you want to stop. ## Optional - [Full text](https://businessconsultation.ca/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://sedighi.ca)
