Horizons Edge Advisory

Management consulting, HR and training, and child care business consulting, from the team building five Saskatoon businesses of its own.

Built on our own books before it was a product.

Horizons Edge Advisory is HEVI's in-house consulting and training practice. The governance, HR and operational expertise that structured a multi-entity family enterprise is now available to organizations beyond the Horizons Edge family, in Canada and internationally.

What we offer

Four service lines, grounded in hands-on experience.

Every service below was put to work inside our own family of businesses first. This is practice, not textbook theory.

Training & HRD Solutions

End-to-end HR development for organizations building a people function for the first time, or formalizing one that has outgrown improvisation.

  • Training Needs Analysis (TNA)
  • Competency framework development
  • Custom workshop design & facilitation (leadership, management fundamentals, workplace skills)
  • Performance management system design
  • HR policy & SOP development
  • Job description & organizational structure design
  • Onboarding program design

Family Business & SME Governance

Corporate structuring and governance for family-run and founder-led businesses, shaped by firsthand experience structuring a real multi-entity family enterprise rather than by legal theory alone.

  • Board and shareholder structure design
  • Succession and role-clarity planning
  • Related-party fee and management-agreement structuring
  • Governance document review (bylaws, agreements, minute books)

Process Improvement

Operational audits and workflow redesign for organizations that have no in-house operations function.

  • Workflow & SOP documentation
  • Efficiency and bottleneck audits
  • Management & competency-capability assessments
  • Role design for growing teams

Child Care Business Consulting

Practical guidance for anyone considering or already running a licensed group family child care home, drawn directly from our experience operating Little Horizons in Saskatchewan.

  • How to apply for a Group Family Child Care Home license
  • Understanding capacity, ratio, and provincial licensing rules
  • Setting up day-to-day operations, records, and compliance routines
  • Navigating subsidy programs (e.g. CWELCC) and funding options
  • Ongoing management support once you're licensed and operating

Founding case study

Designing governance and shared services for a multi-entity family enterprise

Most consulting practices begin without a track record. Horizons Edge Advisory began with one.

“We took a fast-growing group of family-run businesses, a mix of sole proprietorships and a corporation, and gave it a clearer governance structure: corrected regulatory filings, a documented management-fee policy, clear board authority, and a cleaner separation between entities whose shared language had drifted into ambiguity.”
That approach now shapes every governance and structuring engagement Horizons Edge Advisory takes on.

Pricing approach

Clear fees, matched to the scope of work.

Every engagement, from a single workshop to a full multi-entity governance restructuring, is scoped and quoted individually. Get in touch and you will receive a clear, written quote before any work begins.

Start here

Initial Diagnostic Session

A focused, paid 60-minute session that goes beyond a sales call: a genuine first look at your situation. Contact us for current rates. If you engage us within 30 days, the full fee is credited toward your first invoice.

Workshop or Training Session

A flat project fee, quoted per session and scaled to the number of participants and the preparation involved. Available in half-day and full-day formats.

Governance or Process Engagement

A fixed project fee tied to clearly defined deliverables, rather than open-ended hourly billing. A full multi-entity governance restructuring is quoted separately.

Child Care Business Consulting

A licensing-roadmap package priced for an individual aspiring operator rather than a corporate client, with hourly support available for ongoing needs.

Ongoing Advisory Relationship

A monthly retainer, offered once we have an established working relationship and a proven scope.

Every fee is quoted individually and confirmed in writing before work begins. Fees are always flat, fixed or on retainer, never open-ended hourly billing unless you ask for it. International clients are billed in USD or CAD rather than local currency, to avoid absorbing currency risk. Prices shown exclude GST/HST, which is added where applicable.

Frequently asked questions

Before you reach out.

Is Horizons Edge Advisory a separate company from HEVI?

No. Horizons Edge Advisory is a named practice operated directly by Horizons Edge Ventures Inc. (HEVI), the same federally incorporated company behind Little Horizons, Golden Horizons Care Services and Infinite Horizons Visuals. Its invoicing is kept entirely separate from HEVI's other management-fee billing.

Do you work with organizations outside Canada?

Yes. Horizons Edge Advisory takes on international engagements, billed in USD or CAD to keep currency risk out of the equation. Cross-border tax and withholding treatment depends on the situation, so we always recommend confirming the details with your own accountant before invoicing begins.

Can you help someone start a child care business, not just manage an existing one?

Yes. It is one of our most specialized, hands-on services. We guide prospective operators through the actual Group Family Child Care Home licensing process, capacity and ratio rules, and day-to-day compliance setup, drawing on our own experience operating Little Horizons.

How does an engagement usually begin?

With a free 30-minute conversation about what you need and whether we are a good fit. A short written proposal follows, with a defined scope and a flat, fixed or retainer fee, never open-ended hourly billing.

Do you sign MoUs with training bodies or associations?

We consider them case by case. We look for a clearly defined mutual scope, any referral or revenue-share terms set out in real numbers, a defined term with a simple exit, and no exclusivity clause that would prevent us from working directly with clients.

What happens after I pay for the Diagnostic Session?

You will receive an email confirmation and a calendar invitation for your session, in your local timezone. If you engage Horizons Edge Advisory for a full project within 30 days of the session, the full session fee is credited toward your first invoice. Rescheduling is free with at least 24 hours' notice.

Do your prices include sales tax?

Listed prices exclude GST/HST. Where it applies, it is added at checkout or on your invoice and shown separately.
