Cansulta (https://www.cansulta.com/) is looking for experienced consultants to provide the help, advice, and guidance that businesses need to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities they face in starting and managing their operations. Our “Cansultants” are established independent consultants who fill the gap in business areas where clients don’t have in-house capacity, knowledge or expertise.

Administrative work and the pressure to sell yourself should never prevent you from helping new clients. On Cansulta, we’ll take care of marketing, contracts, billing, and more—freeing you to focus on doing what you do best: sharing your expertise and transforming businesses!

**Note that WE DO NOT EMPLOY any consultants: we are an online marketplace connecting consultants with clients to collaborate, a platform for consultants to offer their products and services easily & affordably to clients, as independent contractors. It’s free to join and participate as a consultant on Cansulta. A one-time Platform Setup Fee applies at onboarding to support profile setup, and we otherwise operate on a revenue-sharing basis—so we earn only when you successfully sell your products and services.**
