We support entrepreneurs by creating business plans that are realistic, logical, understandable, and convincing.

We have completed over 400 business plans for clients in many different sectors of the economy. These plans identify target markets, competitive advantages, key success factors, and potential challenges. Our plans include detailed financial projections to help you access the capital you need to grow and succeed.

We work with regional organizations and governments to develop actionable implementation strategies for sustainable economic development. We tailor our work to a region’s strengths and create a strategy that aligns with their priorities for growth.

As part of the strategy development process, we prioritize engagement sessions with community and key interest-holders. These engagements provide critical insights into developing actionable strategies and validate the approach of the sector or region.

We help clients understand the economic value they bring to the greater economy. We use input-output modelling, along with research, data gathering, and key informant interviews, to assess how organizations and industries contribute to the provincial and national economies.

Our economic impact analyses are more than just charts and tables. They tell a story of the value your organization brings to your community, your province, and to Canada as a whole.

We help clients measure their success through evaluation plans or external evaluations. Our evaluation consultants are proud members and volunteers of the Canadian Evaluation Society.

Evaluations critically examine programs or initiatives to provide information on whether they are achieving their expected outcomes and meeting the needs of participants.

The evaluation process supports your team’s effectiveness through identifying the challenges impacting your program’s success and developing actionable recommendations to ensure it is truly helping the people using it.

We are experts in facilitating engagement. From interviews to focus groups to public open houses - our consultants are skilled in asking the right questions and managing pace and discourse to facilitate effective discussions.

We conduct feasibility studies to help clients prioritize financial feasibility and operational success for new projects.

Through financial projections, leading practice research, and key informant engagement, we provide you with valuable data to confirm or advise on your project’s long-term viability. The data gained through feasibility studies equips you to move forward and supports financing activities so you can turn your idea into reality.

We complement clients’ existing financial analysis activities with expert financial projections, reports, and return on investment calculations, all reviewed and signed off by MRSB Chartered Professional Accountants.

Financial projections and return on investment (ROI) calculations can inform your decisions, help you obtain financing, and ensure the feasibility of your plans.

We work alongside First Nation communities to facilitate planning processes that reflect their community’s priorities and values.

We also provide negotiation support or facilitate discussions with funders and lending institutions. We partner with you to submit thorough applications that clearly articulate your value and vision so your submission stands out in the review process.

We use industry and sector analyses to equip and empower leaders with the data they need to support development. By conducting research and engagement, we report on the current state of an industry or sector within the local, national, and/or global context.

Industry and sector analyses and state of the sector reports are valuable records that can guide decision-making and attract investment in a sector’s future. Our reports are based on extensive industry member engagement through focus groups, interviews, and surveys; published research; industry-provided documentation; public reporting; and global trends. This fulsome approach allows us to paint detailed pictures of an industry or sector at a given point in time.

We help clients understand what the market demands and what communities want and need.

Our needs assessments are engagement-driven to allow you to hear directly from potential contributors and end users of your project. We conduct research and best practice interviews to identify trends, plan based on previous projects’ lessons learned, and define the logistics you need to move forward.

A detailed needs assessment is a key market research tool for your operations, and is a valuable study to support funding and financing applications.

We partner with organizations and groups to develop impactful programs and initiatives. We join your team in the planning process to provide research, engagement, and development support.

We help clients plan for what comes next. MRSB Consulting works with MRSB Tax, Valuation, and Accounting experts to help owners and leaders plan their next steps and prepare for smooth transitions.

Whether you are an owner or executive looking to move on from your organization in one year or ten, it is never too early to start the planning process. We can help you plan for your priorities and navigate succession decision-making, so when it is time for a change, you can move forward with confidence.

We support organizations and municipalities through periods of rapid growth by developing actionable plans that define priorities and key directions.

Growth is positive, but it can also be overwhelming when it comes at teams quickly. We partner with leaders to ensure organizations operate in a way that prioritizes sustainability, protects quality, and prevents burnout.

Your sustainable growth requires a long-term planning perspective. We work with you to assess current capacity, identify stronger integration amongst organizational areas, and discuss gaps in capacity to support further growth opportunities. This process requires significant staff engagement and, in some cases, time tracking and analysis. Through careful assessment and engagement, we empower your team to grow confidently and efficiently within a supportive framework.
