An affordable Canadian CPG Food Broker
When your brand stops paying broker commissions the savings start to accumulate. Our long-term client, Level Ground Coffee Roasters, was one of the first adopters of the 0% Commission model. They saved thousands and had a record sales year in 2025. Let’s break down how this happened.
- They knew exactly what their broker fees would be month to month, allowing for more robust budget planning.
- The BNQ team helped them to continue to expand their retailer relationships.
- As Level Ground’s sales grew, they were able to retain these profits and redirect that income to operations that supported this growth.
- As their operations expanded, BNQ was able to present them with more listing opportunities.
The cycle it created – and helped Level Ground hit new sales heights.
Sales strategy.
Growth.
Increased profits.
Increased capacity.
Repeat.
The result?

Level Ground Coffee Roasters’ sales revenue for accounts that BNQ manage were up 49.3% YOY in 2025.
While this is great for the bottom line, it goes beyond that. Level Ground went on to hire approximately 5 more team members. They needed extra hands to keep up with the roasting and shipping of this new demand on product volume. “A good problem to have,” says Level Ground’s Sales Director, Richard Stark.

The Human Side of it all.
The BNQ 0% Commission model created an opportunity beyond the numbers. It gave a brand a chance to expand their team and hire locally, further connect with their community, and create more jobs in a market that needs it more than ever.
When we say, “a different way to work with your broker” THIS is what we mean. We believe everyone should win; the brands, retailers, and the community. We love what we do, and we love helping brands grow to new heights.
