What can BizLaunch can do for my organisation?

We’re in the business of small business training, small business coaching and advising Canadian small business owners operating for less than five years. We help entrepreneurs who are thinking about starting a business, preparing to launch or looking to grow. We serve all ages of entrepreneurs and our advice helps people running any type of small business in Canada, be it trades, service, retail, manufacturing or import/export. We’re speaking to you because your organisation likely serves these entrepreneurs and we believe we can contribute to your efforts by contributing the following free resources:

• Opportunities to co-sponsor BizLaunch Seminars in your area. We’ll attach your name to our free BizLaunch Seminars, invite you to introduce your organization, distribute promotional materials and connect with event guests. There’s no cost to you. If you can’t attend, let us promote your organization for you. It’s a great way to offer quality learning events (without the work!) and build your database.
• Helpful Small Business How-to Articles and Small Business Success Profiles for your website, newsletter, blog, Facebook page or other publications. We have hundreds of professionally-written content pieces ready to share with you. It works both ways – we can give you stories, as well as write about your entrepreneurs in our articles and media releases to get them some local or national publicity.
• Media Publicity. BizLaunch actively reaches out to your local media to talk about small business issues, events, and news. As an Affiliate, we’ll involve you in our media activities so that your organization gets some press.
• Small BizTOOLS. We’ll gladly share any of our popular spreadsheets, PDFs and other documents for distribution to your entrepreneurs or to post on your website. We’ve developed hundreds of tools for small business owners, such as a Cash Flow Forecast, Startup Budget Calculator, Business Plan Template, Non-Disclosure Agreement and a Costing & Pricing Worksheet.

Tell me about BizLaunch.

BizLaunch co-founders Andrew Patricio and Roger Pierce came together six years ago to begin sharing their “been there, done that” knowledge and experience gleaned from launching 22 small businesses. They formed the company to pursue one simple mission: To help new entrepreneurs succeed through education and training. Now Canada’s largest small business training company, BizLaunch has advised over 20,000 new entrepreneurs worldwide, employs a growing number of head office staff and works with over 40 regional BizLaunch Small Business Trainers located in cities across the country. Thanks to our corporate sponsors, our advice is dispensed for free through 90-minute “how-to” seminars, webinars, educational articles, entrepreneur success stories, business tools, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, manuals, guidebooks, our website, one to one telephone coaching, media appearances, videos and podcasts. Find out more about us at www.BizLaunch.ca.

How would our relationship work?

There’s no cost to working with BizLaunch. As an affiliate, we will promote your organization in all of our local events, distribute your materials, link to you on our website, write stories about your entrepreneurs, share our small business articles, tools and other resources and include you in any publicity opportunities. In return, we hope you’ll link to us on your site, inform your entrepreneurs about our scheduled events, and generally work with us wherever appropriate.

What are the next steps?

Worry about your small biz...not your computer.

You're busy enough running your small business. The last thing on your mind should be your computer system.

Your computer is an important tool to help keep your business running smoothly. It's how you communicate with your customers, store valuable data, organize your tasks and manage your operations. As important as it may be to your small biz success, you shouldn't be the one dealing with computer problems.

Alltech Solutions understand the needs of today's small business owner because we're a small business too. We offer computer and computer-related products and services designed specifically to make life worry-free for small office and home office entrepreneurs. Here's what makes us different...

• Save Time. We come to your location so you won't waste time disassembling your computer and bringing it in for service.
• 24/7 Rescue. You can't afford any computer downtime, so we're there when you need us...whether it's the same day, weekends or evenings.
• - No Nerds Here. We are trained and highly qualified Computer Engineers, not just Technicians. That means you can enjoy professional technology advice AND great repairs.
• - Speedy Service. With plenty of experience solving all kinds of computer problems, we know our stuff...and we're fast. Most of our services take less than an hour.
• - Affordable. You don't want to spend a fortune buying or maintaining computers so we keep fees affordable.
• - Save Money. Have you ever taken your car in for servicing only to be suspiciously told it needs a lot of work? With thousands of satisfied clients in the GTA, Alltech Solutions has worked hard to build a good reputation by doing only the work required for the fee quoted. We will never try to sell you a new system when all you need is an hour of service.

Want to sleep better at night? Ask about our popular All-Inclusive Program ...from only $29.95/month we'll make sure your computer system runs trouble free. It's like insurance against repair costs and downtime!

You Have Computer Problems. We Have Permanent Solutions. Since 1997 Alltech Solutions has taken the worry out of computers. Contact us today for a no obligation, friendly quote at your business for any computer-related need.
