What follows depends on which drivers scored lowest and how many years you have to work with. - [Areas](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/): We work with owner-led companies across Canada, from our base in Vancouver, in person and by video call. The method is the same everywhere; what changes by region is sales tax, the public bodies your records touch, seasonality and how much revenue depends on local programs. - [About](https://valuecreation.ca/about/): ValueCreation.ca is a Canadian advisory practice that helps owners build enterprise value over several years. It is part of the Sedighi.ca and SAZ.ca group of companies, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and led by Ali Sedighi, MBA. - [Results](https://valuecreation.ca/results/): Our published results come from Sedighi.ca's work with HVAC companies. We show them here as evidence of a method, building assets that keep producing, not as results from your industry. - [Pricing](https://valuecreation.ca/pricing/): We use the Sedighi.ca group's published consulting rates: hourly advice, fixed-scope projects and monthly retainers, in Canadian dollars plus sales tax for your province. The first 30-minute consultation is free and nothing locks you in. - [FAQ](https://valuecreation.ca/faq/): Short, direct answers to the questions owners most often ask before starting a value-creation engagement, from cost and contracts to valuations and what happens if they never sell. - [Contact](https://valuecreation.ca/contact/): Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. A short text is a perfectly good way to start; we take it from there. Office hours: Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. We usually reply within one business day. ## Services - [Management depth](https://valuecreation.ca/services/management-depth/): We map everything that still runs through you, then build the roles, authority, reporting and habits that let a second layer of management run the company, in measured steps over two to three years. - [Margin and EBITDA](https://valuecreation.ca/services/margin-ebitda-improvement/): We find where gross margin and overhead leak, fix pricing and mix, and build the habits that keep earnings explainable, so that every dollar of improvement is one you can show, not just claim. - [Pre-sale readiness](https://valuecreation.ca/services/pre-sale-readiness/): At the end of a value-creation plan, we check that the value you built can be seen and verified, close the last gaps, and hand the transaction side to the group's exit practice through Sedighi.ca and BizSell.ca. - [Recurring revenue](https://valuecreation.ca/services/recurring-revenue/): We help you design, price and launch revenue that renews on its own, such as service agreements, maintenance plans, memberships and multi-year contracts, then track renewals so the share of repeat revenue grows year after year. - [Value-creation plan](https://valuecreation.ca/services/value-creation-plan/): The plan turns your assessment into a programme you can run alongside the business: three to five initiatives in the first 100 days, a sequenced roadmap for the following years, and a quarterly re-score to keep it honest. - [Value-driver assessment](https://valuecreation.ca/services/value-driver-assessment/): A fixed-scope diagnostic that scores your company on eight value drivers from 1 to 5, explains each score with evidence, and ranks the problems by how much value they are likely costing you. ## Coverage - [Alberta](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/alberta/): Alberta owners work with us by video call and in person. The value drivers are the same as anywhere; the Alberta specifics are 5% GST, a provincial privacy law, licensing rules that can tie value to individuals, and a long heating season. - [British Columbia](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/british-columbia/): We are based in Vancouver, so BC owners can meet us in person easily, as well as by video call. The value-creation method is the same as anywhere; the BC specifics are tax, privacy law, the bodies that hold your records and a climate that differs sharply across the province. - [Manitoba](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/manitoba/): Manitoba owners work with us by video call and in person. A Manitoba value-creation plan pays particular attention to seasonal cash, licences that sit with individuals, and how much demand rides on Efficiency Manitoba and federal retrofit programs. - [New Brunswick](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/new-brunswick/): New Brunswick owners work with us by video call and in person. A New Brunswick plan pays particular attention to customer concentration in smaller markets, licences held by individuals, and demand linked to NB Power programs. - [Newfoundland and Labrador](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/newfoundland-and-labrador/): Newfoundland and Labrador owners work with us by video call and in person. Distance, a long heating season and a market split between the island and Labrador make concentration, cash planning and management depth the drivers to watch. - [Nova Scotia](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/nova-scotia/): Nova Scotia owners work with us by video call and in person. A Nova Scotia value-creation plan watches customer concentration, certified trades held by individuals, seasonal cash in a changeable climate, and rebates that have recently closed or changed. - [Ontario](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/ontario/): Ontario has more owner-led companies than any other province, and they work with us by video call and in person. The Ontario specifics in a value-creation plan are 13% HST, records held by provincial bodies, licensing that can tie value to individuals, and program-driven demand. - [Prince Edward Island](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/prince-edward-island/): PEI owners work with us by video call and in person. On the Island, concentration and owner dependence are usually the drivers that matter most, and recent rebate closures show why program-tied revenue needs watching. - [Quebec](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/quebec/): Quebec has its own sales tax, enterprise register, workplace commission, contractor licensing and language rules. Each of them touches the value drivers, and a Quebec value-creation plan should be built with Quebec advisers alongside. - [Saskatchewan](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/saskatchewan/): Saskatchewan owners work with us by video call and in person. The Saskatchewan specifics in a value-creation plan are tax, the bodies that hold your records, licences that may sit with individuals, very long winters and utility rebates that can change at short notice. - [Territories](https://valuecreation.ca/areas/territories/): Northern owners work with us mainly by video call, and in person when it helps. In the territories, key-person risk, customer concentration and the cost of building management depth are usually the drivers that matter most. ## Guides and articles - [Guides](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/): Six practical, long-form guides on the work of making a company worth more. Each one is written so that an owner can apply it without hiring anyone, using their own numbers. - [Margins and EBITDA](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/ebitda-margin-improvement/): Most owner-led companies lose margin in the same ten places, and few of them show up on a year-end income statement. This guide shows how to find each one in your own numbers and what to do about it. - [Value drivers](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/enterprise-value-drivers/): Eight drivers explain most of the difference in value between two owner-led companies with similar revenue. This guide gives you the scoring criteria we use, so you can rate your company from 1 to 5 on each and see where to start. - [First 100 days](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/first-100-days/): The first 100 days decide whether a value-creation plan becomes a habit or a document. This guide shows how to choose the initiatives, write them so they can be tracked, and run the rhythm that keeps them moving while the business keeps running. - [Value dashboard](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/monthly-value-dashboard/): Annual statements arrive too late to steer by. This guide sets out a one-page monthly dashboard of twelve numbers, grouped by value driver, that tells an owner each month whether the company is becoming worth more. - [Owner dependency](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/owner-dependency-audit/): Most owners underestimate how much of the company depends on them. This 30-day audit gives you a factual record of the decisions, relationships and knowledge that sit with you, and a staged plan for moving them to a management layer. - [Recurring revenue](https://valuecreation.ca/guides/recurring-revenue-design/): Recurring revenue is only valuable if it renews. This guide walks through choosing a model, pricing it so it makes money, writing terms that survive a change of owner, and running the renewal process that turns sign-ups into a track record. ## Optional - [Full text](https://valuecreation.ca/llms-full.txt) - [Parent company](https://sedighi.ca)
