Day 1 to day 10

A business launch, day by day.

Every launch runs on the same board, and you watch yours tick from your phone. This is the example painter’s. Yours gets your name, your trade, your city.

  1. Example: the signed Launch agreement screen, paid, with the launch board link
    Day 1“Now I’m in.”Three minutes on your phone: read it, sign it, pay. Your launch board opens.
  2. Example: the launch board on day 2, name request filed, registration next
    Day 2“Now it’s filed.”Name request in with BC Registries, your city licence queued. We text you at every tick.
  3. Day 5“Now I look like a business.”Logo, colours, cards, your domain and a business email, registered in your name.
  4. Example: the painter's booking page on a phone, pricing an interior job
    Day 7“Now I’m bookable.”Your website and booking page go live: a real price in 30 seconds, a time, a deposit.
  5. Example: the launch board on day 10, every milestone ticked
    Day 10“Now it’s mine.”Google profile submitted, card and e-Transfer connected, every account handed over in your name.
  6. After“Now they can book me.”Property managers and stratas book from the Verified list. Your four papers are already on file, so you send them in one tap.

The 10-Day Launch

In every Launch agreement

Our 10-day promise.

Send us your details by day 5 and we have 10 business days of build work to: file every application that’s ours to file (registration, your city licence, WorkSafeBC, GST if you need it); get your website, online booking and card payments live and tested; and submit your Google Business Profile. If we miss that on our side, your 3 months of Standing become 6, as credit. The clock pauses while we’re waiting on a government office, an insurer, Google, or you. Not happy with your site? We tweak it until you are, before it goes live. We don’t promise approvals, jobs or income — nobody honest can.

Already registered? Standing keeps your four papers current and sends them to any property manager in one tap. Membership plans →

Hayden Martin, founder of Prontco
Who runs this

I ran a cleaning business in Metro Vancouver for 3 years. I built the office I wish I’d had.

Getting found online. Getting booked. Chasing invoices at 11 p.m. The licence renewal I forgot. Prontco handles that side of the business, so you can do the work.

Questions, answered straight

FAQ

How long does it take?

Our build work takes about 10 business days. BC Registries and your city set their own approval times, and those are outside our control. Name approval is commonly around five business days.

What does it cost, government fees included?

Launch is $497 for a sole proprietorship or $997 to incorporate, plus government fees at cost. In Richmond a cleaning sole prop is about $497 + $236 in government fees. We quote your exact figure before anything is filed. After that it's a monthly membership, and your first 3 months of Standing are included. Monthly prices are on the pricing page.

I'm already registered. Do I need Launch?

No. Pick a membership. Ready gives you a booking page, invoices and your paperwork in one place. Standing adds the filings, done for you. Both start free; prices are on the pricing page.

What if you miss one of my filings?

If we miss a filing we handle, we pay the penalty and fix it. That's the Standing guarantee, written into the terms. The Launch itself carries our 10-day promise: send your details by day 5 and we have 10 business days of build work; miss it on our side and your 3 months of Standing become 6. Not happy with your site? We tweak it until you are, before it goes live.

Can I cancel?

Any time, no fee. You keep your plan to the end of the month you paid for.

Do you do my bookkeeping or taxes?

No. We set up your invoicing with the right tax, and card and e-Transfer payments. For bookkeeping, GST returns and year-end tax we introduce you to a bookkeeper. We're not an accounting service.

Sign and pay on your phone, tell us about your business your way, and watch each step tick on your launch board. No sales call needed — or get the free plan first and decide later.
