Sometimes you just need good advice, not a whole program. 
As part of our giveback to the Barrie Chamber and members, you can book a 30 to 45 minute private coaching-consulting session to untangle a challenge or identify next steps on an opportunity that is happening in your business.

You will meet with our senior business coach Cher Cunningham and CFO and Management Consultant Jim Pelot for a private session - held at our Incubator business OfficeInc! on Cedar Pointe Drive.

We have the coffee on! 

What can I use this session for?
Questions we receive (along with the follow up question - why hasn't anyone told me this before?) :

1. My accountant says "put a hold co on top of my op co" is that right?
2. Can I afford to hire this amazing potential employee?
3. How can I find time to work ON my business?
4. Should I offer my employees equity?
5. What is the most vital need of my business right now?
6. How can I introduce myself more powerfully at networking events?
7. How do I get over my fear of sales?
8. How can I get ready for this new opportunity?
9. How do I get more engagement in my employees?
10. How can I stop paying so much tax?
11. How do I clean up this bottleneck in my company?
12. Should I take a salary, a dividend, or both?
13. How can my business stand out? get better clients?
14. How do I get a personal pension plan through my company?
15. Should my company buy real estate?

and many more. 

Stepping out of your business and getting a new perspective can get your challenge solved and your bottleneck unstuck.  If all you really need is great advice and support from experienced business people... let's do that!

Running a business takes incredible focus. The government provides little support to educate businesses on the law and their responsibilities. Keeping up with shifting workplace regulations shouldn’t stand in the way of your growth!



For over 40 years, we have helped businesses navigate the complexities of employment standards and health and safety. In our work with local employers, we consistently find critical gaps that expose owners to severe financial and legal liabilities:

• 90% of businesses lack enforceable employment contracts. Outdated or generic templates often fail under legal scrutiny, leaving employers liable for maximum common-law termination entitlements.


• 60% of businesses are non-compliant with the Ministry of Labour. Missing policies, training gaps, or outdated postings frequently trigger heavy fines during unannounced inspections or after employee complaints.


• Rising constructive dismissal claims. Unintentional or poorly handled changes to an employee’s duties, hours, or compensation can legally be treated as a termination, triggering costly lawsuits.


• Spiking Human Rights Tribunal cases. A lack of consistent, documented practices around accommodation and harassment leaves employers highly vulnerable to costly, public tribunal claims.

To support our Chamber network, we are offering members a complimentary consultation designed to spot these specific gaps and demonstrate how Peninsula can support and protect the business moving forward.



Whether you employ a team of 2 or 50, ensuring your legal foundation is sound is the simplest way to protect your bottom line.
