Why Canadian B2B is Broken — and How Rise with North Is Fixing It

Let’s stop sugarcoating it: Canadian B2B is outdated.

And the longer we pretend the old way still works, the more we all lose.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

If you’re a serious Canadian business trying to buy or sell B2B services, you’re stuck using tools designed for consumers—or worse, spreadsheets and hope.

You're still emailing for quotes. Still Googling suppliers. Still chasing down leads that go cold after two calls and a half-hearted "just circling back."

Meanwhile, in other parts of the world, B2B marketplaces are quietly becoming the standard. Verified businesses trading with verified businesses—seamlessly, digitally, efficiently.

And Canada?

Still waiting for a callback.

The Problem: B2B Commerce in Canada Is Still Manual

B2B commerce should be fast.

But in Canada, it's still full of friction:

• No centralized place to find and compare suppliers.
• Hours wasted on cold outreach and back-and-forth quotes.
• No verification layer, meaning risk is everywhere.
• Deals that take weeks, even when both sides want to move.

If you’re a real business selling real services—compliance, logistics, enterprise software, consulting, tech, HR, finance, whatever—you know this pain.

You're not selling lattes or logos. You're selling mission-critical services that need trust, speed, and structure.

And there hasn’t been a single Canadian marketplace built for that.

Until now.

The Solution: Rise with North — Canada's First Verified B2B Marketplace

We didn’t launch Rise with North to “disrupt” anything.

We launched it because we were sick of watching serious Canadian businesses try to scale using broken tools.

Here’s what we built:

• A platform where verified Canadian businesses can buy and sell B2B services—without noise, spam, or freelancers.
• A space where trust is built-in, and every supplier and buyer is vetted before joining.
• A true marketplace, where deals can happen faster, smarter, and with more transparency than ever before.

This isn’t Upwork. It’s not Fiverr. It’s not Craigslist in a tie.

It’s B2B, redefined—for people who run real businesses.

The Market Is Moving. Are You?

In the U.S., B2B marketplaces are growing 6x faster than traditional B2B commerce. In Asia, B2B marketplaces are already powering billions in GDP.

Meanwhile in Canada, we’re still stuck in back-and-forth PDFs and "Just following up on that invoice" emails.

We don’t need more software.

We need a new standard.

That’s what Rise with North is.

It’s not a tool. It’s a platform.

It’s not a directory. It’s a deal flow engine.

It’s not a gimmick. It’s how Canadian B2B should work in 2025.

• Every business is verified. No individuals. No fake listings. No fluff.
• Request quotes from multiple suppliers with a single click.

We didn’t build this for hobbyists.

We built it for operators.
