FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We provide a range of consulting services, including expertise in Marketing, HR, Software Development, and Business Process Automation. Our team of consultants is well-equipped to address your specific needs.

Our approach is holistic. We not only provide recommendations but also offer turn-key solutions that include implementation after the consultation. You’ll receive comprehensive support throughout the process.

The funding of $7,300 per youth digital advisor can be used to cover youth digital advisor-related costs, including: salaries and benefits (including, at minimum, a salary based on your province’s minimum wage); recruitment, training, and deployment to small businesses; cost of equipment or tools used by the youth digital advisor (amortized on a per-youth digital advisor basis over the period of use); and source deductions. Youth digital advisor training and work opportunities must be linked to support for small businesses in the development and implementation of their e-commerce strategies.

As an example of the amortization of the cost of equipment or tools used by the youth digital advisor: If a piece of equipment costs $1,000 and is used by 10 youth digital advisors during the fiscal year, then the cost per youth digital advisor for the fiscal year is $100.

You pay us directly, and then the Government reimburses you. We streamline the process to ensure a smooth financial transaction.

Approval typically takes 1 to 3 months, depending on your specific requirements and the complexity of the project.

Post-advisory action varies based on the project scope and outcomes. We tailor our approach to your unique situation.
