27 Most-Replicated Alberta Businesses · The Course

The 27 businesses most likely to work in Alberta. Taught by the operator who built the agent fleet for them.

BITRAGE.AI built a 27-pack catalog because we did the research first: Alberta's most-replicated viable small businesses, the regulations that govern each one, the capital needed, the grants available, the agent stack each one needs to run. That research is now a course. 27 self-paced modules ($499) or a 1-day live Edmonton workshop ($1,499). Pick what fits how you learn.

Curriculum

27 modules. Same shape every time.

Each module follows the same template — the framework we use internally to build a pack. So you finish the course knowing not just the 27 businesses, but the structure for thinking about any vertical you might want to run.

Module template (each of the 27 follows this)

1. Customer profile — who pays for this in Alberta, what they earn, what they don't know · 2. Capital + revenue — true year-1 P&L, not Instagram fantasy · 3. Compulsory regulation — STAEA / AAIP / WCB / GST / municipal licensing · 4. Grant money — every applicable Alberta + federal program with $ amounts · 5. Software stack — which 4-7 tools the operator actually uses (Jobber, Wave, NiceJob, etc.) · 6. The agent fleet — 7 standard + 4 vertical specialists per pack · 7. Time-to-cash — Day 1 / Day 30 / Day 90 milestones · 8. What kills it — the year-1 failure modes other people don't tell you

Why this course exists

Most "start a business" content is generic. This is Alberta-specific.

When you Google "how to start a cleaning business," you get articles written by content marketers in California citing US tax law and Texas licensing rules. We started BITRAGE because that gap was killing year-one Alberta operators. The 27 packs are the productized version of the research. The course is the research itself, taught directly. Watch when you want, in any order, or come spend a day with NATRIX in Edmonton and we'll build your specific business idea live.
