The real obstacle

It's not doubt. It's the fifty next steps.

Most people don't put off starting a business because they doubt themselves — they put it off because they don't know what comes next. Registration, licensing, branding, a website, Google, booking, payments… it feels like ten jobs before your first client. We handle all of it, so you can stay focused on the work you're actually great at.

THE GAP

You're already doing the work

You just don't look like a business yet. Clients pick the operator with the real name, the website, the reviews — even at higher prices. We close that gap.

THE COST OF WAITING

Informal stays small

Staying informal means competing on price, invisible on Google, and exposed to bylaw and tax issues down the road. The question isn't what launching costs — it's what staying stuck costs you.

THE FIX

Done for you, in days

One call, then we build: registered, licensed, branded, online, bookable. Most people around you won't even see the setup — they'll just see a professional business.

The transformation

From a number on a scrap of paper to a card you're proud of.

Nothing about your work changes. Everything about how you're seen does.

tap the card · cash-only → registered

The flip is the whole pitch. Same hands, same skill, same quality of work — but now there's a registered business name, a business number, GST registration, and a card that wins the jobs you were quietly losing.

  • Quote bigger jobs without flinching at the price
  • Get taken seriously by property managers and strata councils
  • Charge what the work is actually worth
What you get — every launch

A complete business. Not a to-do list.

Registered, licensed, branded, online, and taking bookings — nine things, all done for you.

See all nine

Registered & licensed

We register your business name or incorporate, and prepare and file your municipal business licence. No government portals to figure out — we submit; the authorities approve.

A brand clients trust

Logo, colours, tagline, and a brand voice guide. Everything consistent, everything professional — the kind of brand that earns trust before you show up.

A website that sells

A clean, mobile-friendly website built and live before handoff. Clients find you, see your work, and book — all in one place.

Online booking

Your services and prices set up in an online booking system with automated confirmations. Clients book themselves — you get a notification and show up.

Payments, connected

Card payments and Interac e-Transfer, ready to go. Clients pay a secure emailed invoice in one click; money lands in your business account.

Books, handled

Accounting software configured and connected to your bank, with your invoice template ready. Tracked from day one — no shoebox of receipts at tax time.

Found on Google

Google Business Profile fully built and submitted. When someone searches your service in your area, you show up — hours, reviews, and booking link included.

Protected on paper

A service agreement and liability waiver, professionally written and ready to send before your first job.

Social, set up

Instagram and Facebook with your branding, bio, and first posts written. You look established from day one.

How it works

Three steps. Ten business days.

Every launch includes 30 days of hands-on support as you go after your first clients — questions, tweaks, guidance. And you own every account from day one: website, domain, booking, payments, social. Nothing is locked to us.

A quick note on ongoing costs: keeping your business running takes a couple of small essentials — business email (~$7/mo) and your domain (~$15/yr). Your booking system is free. We set it all up and walk you through everything. No surprises.

Built to the standard property managers require.

Every Prontco launch meets the six-point Prontco Verified standard — registered, licensed in every city you work, WorkSafeBC clearance, insured, GST registered, and identity confirmed on a call. It’s the same standard we vet every contractor against before dispatching them to property managers, strata councils and realtors across Metro Vancouver. Launch with us and you’re listed once your insurance is on file.

Questions, answered straight

FAQ

How long does it take to launch a business with Prontco?

Our build work is done in about 10 business days — brand, website, booking, payments, accounting and your Google profile. Two parts of the timeline aren't ours to control: BC Registries sets its own processing times (name approval is commonly around five business days, and longer at busy periods), and each municipality decides how long its business licence takes to issue. We file everything promptly and keep you posted, but we won't promise a government approval date we don't control. In practice most clients are trading within two to three weeks.

What if I don't have a business name yet?

That's completely fine — many clients don't. We help you choose one, check it's available, and register it for you as part of the build.

Do I need to be incorporated?

No. You can start as a sole proprietor (our Starter package), which is simpler and cheaper, or incorporate (Launch and up) for more protection. We'll help you pick what fits.

What about licensing and approvals?

We identify the licences that typically apply based on your business activities, prepare the applications, and submit them on your behalf. Final licensing requirements and approvals are determined by the applicable authorities — timelines vary by municipality. We handle the setup and submission; the city handles approval.

Are there ongoing costs?

A couple of small essentials keep your business running — business email (~$7/mo) and your domain (~$15/year). Your booking system is free. We set it all up and explain everything. No surprises.

Do you do my bookkeeping for me?

No — we set up and configure accounting software and connect it to your bank, so everything is tracked and ready for tax time. From there, you (or a bookkeeper of your choice) manage the day-to-day books. We're not an accounting service.

What exactly do you handle vs. what's up to me?

We handle all the setup and implementation — registration, branding, website, booking, payments, accounting software setup, and your online presence. You handle doing the actual work for your clients and responding to bookings. We build the business; you run it.
