The first step toward being listed: a comprehensive business review

We don’t work with food or drink brands that don’t show potential for success. If we don’t believe that your product can succeed in its current incarnation, we won’t waste your time; we will tell you.

Your journey begins with an in-depth review where we assess the viability of your product in today’s competitive market.

We examine key factors that will make your food business successful, including:

  • Consumer trends – does your product fit in with today’s rapidly evolving markets, and does it have product market fit?
  • Category review. Is the category growing, stagnant or shrinking? Where are the opportunities?
  • A skill and financial review of your business. Do you have the funds available to pay for the work that’s needed to get you ready for retail?
  • A margin review. Does your COGS (Cost Of Goods Sold) allow you to sell at a category-appropriate MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) and offer relevant margins to both distributors and retailers?

The cost of this initial step is $2500. If we decide to move forward, this fee will become part of the overall fee of $25,000. If changes need to be made to your business, then the plan will outline these.

You can reapply once within 12 months at no cost, allowing you to make the necessary changes and refresh your offer.

Your questions, answered

The average food business spends $100,000 and three years to secure retail and distribution listings. We can help speed up this process, creating significant savings in time and money. 
Imagine, beginning to sell your product in one year instead of three, the difference that would make to your business. 

And with our money back guarantee, we carry all of the risk. 

Saskia and Andreas will work as advisors, and the fee paid is for advisory services only. External services, such as brand creation, packaging design, and product formulation, are additional costs to be paid by the brand owner. We will introduce trusted partners to you, but you are under no obligation to use these.

That depends on the work that needs to be done. Here are some examples:

  • Brand Development: $4000
  • Packaging Development: $4000
  • Co-packing Agreement and first run: $10-30,000

We recommend available funds of $30,000 to $50,000 in total. We will determine the need for funding in the initial business review.

No. This fee pays for the time of two of Canada’s leading food marketing and CPG experts. The money does count towards the $25,000 fee if we do work together and you can reapply for free one time.
