No fees. No pressure. Just help.
Why are we here?
Running a business can feel heavy. Some days you’re full of ideas; others you’re overwhelmed, unsure, or just tired. Every founder, every shop owner, every family business knows this feeling.
That’s why we came to South Tyrol — to offer support that’s human, not corporate. Support that listens first, understands, and helps you move forward step by step.
No fees. No selling. No pressure. Just people who care about local entrepreneurs — and want you to succeed.

Whatever you’re dealing with — we’ll try to help
Running a business means facing challenges on multiple fronts. Some are strategic, others are operational, and some are deeply personal. Whatever you’re dealing with, we’ll try to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. You can talk to us when you need support with:
Business & Strategy

You’re restructuring or reinventing your business
Sales, Marketing & Visibility
You need stronger sales — local, national, or international
You want better visibility for your shop, hotel, products, or services
You need clarity on branding, digital presence, online marketing, or communication
You’re not sure why your marketing isn’t working
Operations & Organization
Your processes feel messy, slow, or unclear
Your team is tired, overloaded, or not aligned
You want to simplify how you work
Something is inefficient but you can’t see the root of it

You’re dealing with sensitive issues inside the family business
You need a calm, neutral perspective for big decisions
You’re carrying stress, pressure, or uncertainty and need someone to talk to
Innovation & Technology

In short: come to us with anything that feels unclear, heavy, or important. If it matters to you, it matters to us.
Why is it free?
Because business is hard — and community matters. We don’t believe advice should be a luxury. We believe in generosity, connection, and supporting the people who keep South Tyrol alive and thriving.
Our work is funded independently. Your conversations with us are private, pressure-free, and always without cost.
We’re also a community-powered initiative. Alongside our core team, experienced local volunteer advisors contribute their knowledge to support entrepreneurs and strengthen the local business community.
This is our way of giving back.
About Canada Hill Advisors
Canada Hill Advisors began in Toronto in 2008 as a small, people-first advisory practice. Over the years, we’ve helped entrepreneurs and small businesses see clearly, solve everyday challenges, and move forward with calm and clarity.
Today, we’re here in South Tyrol because we believe local businesses deserve the same support, warmth, and guidance.
We’re not a big firm. We’re people who care about people. And we’d love to meet you, hear your story, and help in any way we can.
Let’s talk — over a coffee, a walk, or a call
Sometimes you just need someone to listen. Someone you can talk things through with — openly, calmly, without pressure. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’re here for you. We’re always happy to:
☕ Meet in person — at our base at NOI Tech Park in Bolzano, in Brunico or Merano, or right at your place of business anywhere in South Tyrol.
📞 Talk online — whenever it’s easier for you.
💬 Answer your questions — big or small, anytime.
You’re not alone in what you’re building. We’d be glad to hear from you.
Just email us at south.tyrol@canadahill.ca to request a meeting or a call — or simply share your questions and thoughts.
Strategy Internship Program — South Tyrol
Canada Hill Advisors is offering a unique internship program for motivated young people in and around South Tyrol who want to learn real strategy and business development skills. This is your chance to work directly with our founder, contribute to early projects in the region, and gain the kind of hands-on experience that universities don’t teach. This is not a corporate internship. It’s hands-on, founder-led, and focused on real learning.
What You’ll Work On: Business development research & outreach, supporting strategy projects, preparing insights & recommendations, and possible participation in client conversations.
Who We’re Looking For: Students, graduates, or motivated individuals interested in strategy, business, or local economic development. No significant prior experience required — just curiosity, reliability, and drive.
What You’ll Gain: Real strategy & biz dev skills, direct mentorship from the founder, exposure to real companies, a warm and supportive learning environment, and strong references for future job applications.
Location: Remote, with optional in-person meetings in South Tyrol.
How to Apply: Send us a short email + CV or LinkedIn profile to: careers@canadahill.com
