Reduce dependency on the owner
The processes, responsibilities and tools allow the company to continue without requiring its presence in every detail.
Participate in the movementManifesto Level Up Québec
We want to make entrepreneurship, quality advice and good tools more accessible. Each company better accompanied can create value, serve better, open up a place for others and strengthen the economy here.
Why now
Québec needs more people who can create, acquire, grow, preserve and transfer strong businesses. It also needs more transparent services, better-adapted tools and competition that pushes everyone to stand out through the quality of their work—not simply the size of their budget.
Keep before selling
The movement is not opposed to business succession or to a sale when it becomes necessary. When keeping the business remains viable and desired, however, we prioritize automation, delegation and continuity so the business—and the wealth it creates—can remain in the family.
The processes, responsibilities and tools allow the company to continue without requiring its presence in every detail.
Ownership, revenue, knowledge and opportunities can sustain generations rather than disappear in a single transaction.
Rather than waiting for a company to be sold to them, the next generation is encouraged to rely on this stability to start new businesses.
Our commitments
We tailor the scope, tools and deliverables to the actual situation rather than automatically pushing the most expensive solution.
We limit unnecessary complexity, reuse what already works and sometimes invest more time to lower the barriers to a useful project.
Transparency on choices, limits and costs protects the entrepreneur and creates healthier relationships.
Part of the profits helps promote Québec businesses, create accessible tools and fund new support initiatives.
We develop content, paths and gamified solutions to help young people understand how an idea becomes a business.
We focus on education, evidence and transparency to help the market recognize real value and responsible practices.
The Level Up cycle
The value created with a customer also feeds knowledge, tools and opportunities that can benefit the movement.
We Level Up one person at a time
Depending on the situation, the potential impact and our current capacity, Level Up may choose to contribute time, advice, a logo, a website, a tool, an application or another deliverable. This initiative remains discretionary: it does not create an ongoing contest, an automatic entitlement or a promise of free work.
A short and useful intervention to enable the project to reach its next stage.
Transforming a real project into evidence, content or showcase that helps the company to be better understood.
Document what can help other entrepreneurs avoid a mistake or move forward faster.
Transparency and vigilance
Level Up can explain problematic practices, compare options and make entrepreneurs aware of risks. Any public statement must remain based on verifiable facts, distinguish opinion from evidence, respect the rights of individuals and seek first to inform rather than attack.
We do not promise to be cheaper in any case. We promise to look for a suitable solution, to explain choices and to avoid charging a complexity that does not bring value to the customer.
Moving from vision to action
Tell us honestly about the situation: the project, the available means, the roadblock and the impact you want to create. The next step will be chosen based on reality, not a prepackaged offer.
