Business plan evaluation service

Last reviewed: 2026-11-09 (program references only).

A business plan can look finished and still fail its reader. The market numbers do not match the revenue forecast. The hiring plan does not fit the cost model. The owner’s role is vague. An outside review finds these things before an officer, a banker or an investor does.

Our evaluation is an independent assessment of your plan with written feedback on what to fix.

What we examine

1. Market analysis. Is the market defined, sized and sourced? Are the competitors real and compared fairly?
2. Product or service. Is it clearly described, and does the business model make sense?
3. Financials. Are the assumptions stated and realistic? Do revenue, costs, staffing and investment agree with each other?
4. Operations. Are the location, suppliers, staffing and timeline credible?
5. Risk. Are the main risks named, with a sensible plan for each?
6. Legal and regulatory. Are the licences and rules that apply to this business identified?

For an immigration plan, we also read it as the program’s reader would. We look for consistency with the business concept, a clear owner-manager role, jobs for Canadians and permanent residents, and an eligible investment. We read it against the program’s published requirements. We do not assess your eligibility; that is for your immigration consultant or lawyer.

What you receive

You receive a written report that tells you what is strong, what is weak and what to change, in order of importance. We then go over the most important points with you in a call or video session. If you need more, such as improving the plan directly or producing a finalised plan, we can arrange that separately.

When it helps

• You wrote the plan yourself and want a second opinion before filing.
• A previous writer produced it and you are not sure it holds up.
• A lender or investor has asked for changes.
• You are an immigration firm and want a second look at a client’s plan. See our page for immigration professionals.

Sectors we review

Technology and software, agriculture and food, healthcare and life sciences, retail and e-commerce, manufacturing, finance and fintech, and professional and personal services. If your sector is not on the list, ask.

What it is not

It is not an official government evaluation, a legal opinion or a prediction of approval. Some programs ask for an evaluation report from a provider the province approves. Check what your program requires.

Price

The starting price is shown on this page and on the pricing page. It depends on the plan’s length and complexity.
