Generic AI does not know the difference between a work permit, permanent residency, and provincial business rules. Decode does.
Decode helps organizations support newcomer entrepreneurs with compliance guidance filtered by immigration status and province — so advisors can move from confusion to clarity in one conversation.
Your advisors should not have to memorize CRA, IRCC, provincial, and municipal rules to help one client open a business — or spend 30 minutes bouncing them between agencies to get a complete answer.
Decode gives your team a structured way to understand the client's situation and provide clearer, faster, better-fit guidance.
For settlement agencies, entrepreneurship support organizations, post-secondary programs, incubators, and ecosystem partners supporting newcomer entrepreneurs.
At $3,000/year, that is less than the cost of two hours of legal advice — for a full year of structured compliance navigation support for every client you serve.
Most compliance tools assume the user already understands the system. Decode does not.
It starts with who the founder is — their province, their immigration status, and what they are trying to do — then filters the guidance from there.
BridgeForward is a federally incorporated social purpose corporation based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
We build AI-powered compliance navigation tools for newcomer entrepreneurs in Canada.
We believe access to clear, accurate compliance information should not depend on how long someone has been in Canada, how much they can afford to spend on professional advice, or whether they happen to know the right person.
BridgeForward builds technology that helps close that gap.
If your organization supports newcomer entrepreneurs, we would like to show you what Decode does in 20 minutes — and discuss licensing and implementation timelines that work for your team.
Flat-fee institutional licensing starts at $3,000–$5,000/year. No per-user charges. No hidden costs.
