What we do

Five services, one Canadian team

Entering Canada takes several specialists and a lot of coordination. We bring the pieces together for brand owners, working with licensed partners and service providers at each step.

Our services

What each service covers

One point of contact in Canada, coordinating the specialists each step needs.

  1. Regulatory & compliance coordination

    Navigating Canadian requirements with licensed partners

    Canadian rules decide whether a product can be sold here and how it must be labelled. We help brand owners understand the requirements for their category and coordinate the work with licensed partners and qualified service providers.

    • An early read on the Canadian requirements for your category
    • Coordination with licensed partners, regulatory consultants and testing providers
    • Support preparing product licence applications where a category needs one
    • Guidance on bilingual (English and French) labelling and packaging
  2. Importation & logistics

    Coordinated supply from source to shelf

    We coordinate how product moves from the manufacturer to Canadian customers, working with freight forwarders, customs brokers and third-party warehouses.

    • Shipment planning with the manufacturer
    • Customs classification and tariff questions, worked through with customs brokers
    • Customs clearance through licensed customs brokers
    • Freight and third-party warehousing arrangements
    • Inventory tracking and reorder planning
    • Delivery to retail and distribution customers
  3. Distribution & retail development

    Building pathways into Canadian retail

    We help brands find their first and next sales channels in Canada — distributors, independent retailers, pharmacies and specialty stores — starting with the communities who already know the brand.

    • A channel plan for your category
    • Outreach to distributors, retailers and pharmacies
    • Pricing and margin structure across channels
    • Product information and point-of-sale materials for retailers
    • Sell-through feedback shared with the brand
  4. Marketing & community engagement

    Reaching the communities who know your brand

    Many brands from the Pacific Rim already have loyal customers in Canada before they have shelf space. We reach them through community events, in-store activity and social media, and share what we learn with the brand.

    • Community events and product sampling
    • In-store demos and merchandising support
    • Social media and content for the Canadian market
    • Launch planning
    • Customer feedback reported back to the brand
  5. E-commerce & business growth

    Online channels and long-term growth

    Online channels let a brand reach customers beyond the stores that carry it. We support brands as they build their online presence in Canada — coordinating marketplace setup, listings and content — and help plan each next stage of growth.

    • Online store and marketplace setup support
    • Support with product listings, content and imagery
    • Online reseller outreach
    • Sales reporting and growth planning
