VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — March 15, 2025 — Vancouver Business Services, the growth and technology consulting firm led by MBA-qualified CTO and technology strategist Ali Sedighi, today announced a major operational expansion across British Columbia. The firm now actively serves more than 60 BC communities — from Victoria, Nanaimo, and Courtenay on Vancouver Island, through Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, into the Okanagan, Cariboo, and Kootenays.
The expansion is built around a single, opinionated thesis: most BC service businesses are over-served by generalist agencies and under-served by specialists who actually understand their economics. Through its seven specialist brands — including the CRO-focused Conv.ca, Trades.Agency, HVAC.Agency, HVAC.Digital, Realty.Agency, Vancouver.Estate, and Roofing.Marketing — Vancouver Business Services delivers vertical-specific growth, marketing, and AI consulting on performance-based terms.
Performance-based expansion, not retainer expansion
The expansion is anchored by the firm's Growth Partner Program, in which the firm invests time, expertise, and resources upfront and is compensated only against measurable client outcomes. The program supported more than 100 BC and North American operators in 2024.
"Retainers reward effort, not outcome," said Ali Sedighi, founder of Vancouver Business Services. "Performance partnerships flip that — and most service businesses are healthier for it. As we expand into more BC communities, we're not bringing more retainers. We're bringing a model that lets local operators compete with bigger budgets without writing bigger cheques."
Where the firm is expanding
The 60+ BC communities now served include Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Squamish, Whistler, Victoria, Saanich, Sidney, Nanaimo, Parksville, Courtenay, Campbell River, Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops, Prince George, Cranbrook, Nelson, Trail, Fernie, Revelstoke, Salmon Arm, Quesnel, Williams Lake, and others across the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, Okanagan, Cariboo, and Kootenays. A full locations index is published on the firm's website.
Vertical focus by community
The expansion follows the firm's vertical agency thesis: each specialist brand serves a single industry deeply rather than many industries shallowly. In practice, that means BC HVAC contractors are served by HVAC.Agency and HVAC.Digital; trades and home services by Trades.Agency; roofing companies by Roofing.Marketing; real estate agents by Realty.Agency and Vancouver.Estate; and conversion-focused ecommerce and SaaS businesses by Conv.ca.
