Call or text (604) 632-4959, or email Ali@Sedighi.ca. Those are the only ways to reach us, and each one reaches Ali directly. A short text is a welcome way to begin, and we'll follow up. Our hours: Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific. We usually reply within one business day. The first 30-minute consultation is free and comes with no obligation.

What to include in your first message
Four short pieces of information make the first conversation far more useful. You don't need exact figures; honest estimates are fine.
- What you do and where. Your service, the area you cover, and whether you go to customers or they come to you.
- How long you've been running. And whether you are solo or have help.
- A few numbers. Your main rate or typical job price, roughly how many hours a week you work, and how many of those you bill.
- The question on your mind. Prices, a quiet phone, a full week, a possible hire, or outgrowing the house.
Leave out anything private you'd rather not put in writing. We can cover it on the phone.
A message template you can copy

Hi Ali, I run [Business name], a home-based [type of service] business in [City / area]. I've been running it for [number] years and I [work solo / have one helper]. I charge about [rate or typical job price] and work around [hours] a week, of which roughly [hours] are billed. My main question is [pricing / getting more customers / my schedule / whether to hire / whether to move out of my home]. You can reach me by [call / text / email] around [time of day].
That is enough for us to come to the first conversation prepared.
What happens next
After you get in touch, the process is short and predictable.
- We reply, usually within one business day, to arrange a time for the free 30-minute consultation, or to answer your question directly if it is a quick one.
- The consultation. We talk through your numbers and the decision you're facing. By the end you'll know whether you need paid help, which service fits and roughly what it would cost.
- A written proposal, if you want one. It sets out scope, price, timeline and terms in plain language. Nothing starts until you agree.
- Work begins on the timeline in the proposal, with Ali as your single point of contact.
If the honest answer is that you can fix it yourself with one of our guides, we'll say so.
Before you get in touch: what we can't help with
Some questions need a different office, and it saves you time to know which.
- Is my home business allowed here? Ask your municipality; home-business licensing and zoning vary between cities.
- What can I deduct for my home office? The CRA and an accountant can answer that.
- Is my helper an employee or a contractor? The CRA's guidance and an accountant are the starting point.
- Is this lease fair? A lawyer should review it.
We will gladly help you prepare questions for any of these, and many owners find that part useful on its own.
Working with us in person, by video call, phone, text and email
Consultations run by video call or in person, and the rest suits owners who spend their days on the road or with customers. Many clients prefer to send numbers by email and talk decisions through by phone. Documents and plans are shared in writing so you can read them when the house is quiet. If you work odd hours, say so in your first message and we will suggest call times that fit around your jobs rather than ours. Texts are fine for quick questions between appointments; anything with numbers is easier by email.

Frequently asked questions
Should I call, text or email?
Whichever suits your day. Text is handy if you're between jobs; email is better if you want to send numbers or a few paragraphs of background. A call works well if you'd rather just talk it through.
What if I contact you outside business hours?
Send it anyway. It will be read on the next working day; our hours are Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No, but a few numbers help: your main rate, roughly how many hours you work and bill, and where your customers come from. Rough figures are fine.
Is the first conversation free?
Yes. The initial 30-minute consultation is free, with no obligation.
