Estimates put startup costs at typically around $200 to $1,500, depending on your software, secure file sharing and any insurance. Because the work is remote, you avoid travel and premises costs.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated at around $500 to $3,500, depending on how many reviews you complete and what you charge. The estimate assumes at least 5 hours a week. Quiet seasons can affect when owners have time or budget.

Check professional liability insurance for advice-based work and GST/HST registration once you pass the small supplier threshold, including how tax applies to clients in other provinces. Protect client data with a confidentiality agreement and secure file sharing, and be clear about what a remote review covers.
