THE SIMPLE ROADMAP TO SUCCEED IN CANADA.

We provide you with a step-by-step, easy-to-follow guide of everything you need to know to setup a successful business.

Setting up a business in a foreign country can be daunting for anybody.

I know because I'm an immigrant just like you.

And just like you, I had to deal with a lot of confusion and discouragement when I started my business.

Not only were the rules different, there were also certain disadvantages that made it more difficult to become an entrepreneur.

Back, then I had to deal with:

✔️ Navigating through all the legal requirements
✔️ Getting over all the cultural differences
✔️ Figuring out the right business to setup
✔️ Studying almost a hundred tax laws
✔️ Finding the right people to do business with
✔️ ...and a whole lot more!

The task was so overwhelming that there were several times when I just thought about giving up!

But I didn't give up!

I navigated my way through all the frustration and I'm happy I did! I realized that becoming an immigrant entrepreneur was possible if only I had the right tools and the right knowledge that I now have.

Now, I am a serial entrepreneur with several successful businesses in Canada. I continue to grow my businesses and live the life that I've always dreamed of for me and my family.

And you know what? You can, too!

With just the right guidance and the right action plan, you won't have to go through all that confusion and waste time and money on making mistakes!

Imagine if you can:

✔️ Setup your business in Canada for success - the right way!
✔️ Ensure the future success of your business and maximize your profit potential
✔️ Eliminate all the unnecessary distractions and really focus on getting your business setup quickly and efficiently
✔️ Understand the foundations of doing business in Canada
✔️ Overcome the cultural barriers and remove all the disadvantages that comes with becoming an immigrant entrepreneur

Get to know your coach

Hi, I'm Karla Briones, experienced award-winning serial entrepreneur, small business columnist in Canada's Capital daily newspaper, TEDx Speaker and business college instructor at Algonquin College. I came to Canada at 18 in a U-Haul truck after a five-day drive from my country, Mexico.

In the last 15 years, I fell in love with business and opened many – which I still own!

I've navigated entrepreneurship on my own as an immigrant and made many mistakes that I learned from. Now, I've been named Immigrant Entrepreneur of the Year by Canada's Nation's Capital. I've helped hundreds of entrepreneurs launch, scale, and exit their businesses.

To help out more aspiring immigrant entrepreneurs, I decided to put all my experience and knowledge in online courses to help you succeed and scale faster. My commitment is to help you along your business journey!

You can ask me questions and get feedback during our weekly “Office Hours” calls along with my team of talented immigrant entrepreneur mentors.

These fellow immpreneurs bring expertise from business plan writing, legal aspects, business immigration, accounting, marketing, franchises and more.
