Canadian
Retail Partners
A Canadian retail partner who tells you what's actually happening.
Flat-rate packages. 0% commission. A team that only wins when your brand does.
About
Our Team
The commission model has been costing brands money for decades. Nobody called it out, so we fixed it. Flat-rate packages. 0% commission. A team that operates like part of yours, not a vendor you have to manage.
Not your average broker
At $3M in retail sales, a standard 5% commission costs $150,000 a year, and that number keeps climbing with every dollar you sell.
BNQ runs on flat-rate packages instead, so your fee stays fixed no matter how much you
grow, and more of your revenue stays yours.
We are the only food and beverage broker in Canada to offer 0% Commission on all services.

Process
01 No Gatekeeping
Your listings, results, data, and CRM: all yours, in real time. We don’t hold information hostage.
02 DATA-LED STRATEGY

Who We Work With
Established brands
Most established brands on shelf today got there with a broker’s help. Brands come to us with ambitious retail goals, and often after a broker relationship that left them in the dark. On average, established brands see 35% growth in retail sales in their first year with BNQ.
Start-ups & Early Stage Brands
Brands entering Canadian retail for the first time work with our team to build real distribution from the ground up. On average, our newest-to-market brands generate $331K in sales in their first year, starting from zero.
