Claude for Small Business — built for Ontario trades
Propercheck sets up your Ontario invoices to legally start the Construction Act's 28-day payment clock — and chases overdue invoices on autopilot, with your approval before every send.
Setup engagements $1,500 – $5,000. Monthly retainer $300 – $800. 30-day money-back guarantee.
Numbers from Canadian SMB and construction sector data. None of this is hype — it's the math of your A/R.
Days Sales Outstanding range for construction (North American benchmark). Cross-industry average is ~60. Source: CreditPulse 2025 DSO benchmarks.
14 hrs/wk on payment-collection admin (mid-sized businesses, QuickBooks 2022). That's about 9 working days a year you've already worked once but get to spend again chasing.
Majority of CDN SMEs hit by late payments (CFIB research, cited 2025). Ontario's Construction Act prompt-payment regime has been in force since October 1, 2019 — most trades still don't know how to use it.
Three custom AI skills, plugged into the QuickBooks you already use. Plus the Ontario law the generic tools don't know.
Ontario law requires a "proper invoice" before the 28-day payment clock starts — registered contractor address, holdback calc shown separately, milestone breakdown. We bake the check into every invoice you send.
When invoices age, the skill drafts a tone-matched followup — gentle nudge, firm reminder, lien-preservation language. You approve every send before it goes out. Logs back to QuickBooks automatically.
Paste your rough site-visit notes (or dictation). Get back a structured line-item quote with labor, materials, sub markup, O&P, HST — staged so the eventual invoice is Construction Act compliant from day one. Send via DocuSign.
Built on Claude for Small Business — Anthropic's small-business product launched May 2026. Available to paying Claude customers. Propercheck sets it up, builds the Ontario-specific skills, and trains you to use it.
Sole-op to ~10 employees. You run QuickBooks. You're losing time and cash to A/R chase. That's our home.
No long contracts. 30-day money-back guarantee*.
Embedded operating partner. Beyond the skill pack: I sit alongside your team in your Slack, take live questions during business hours, and run a weekly 30-min working session for the first 90 days to lock in adoption. Capped at 5 active embedded clients at any time to protect response speed. Pro is a deployed system; Embedded is an operator on call.
Per-workflow add-ons after setup: $500 each. Setup typically completed within 1-2 weeks of kickoff.
*30-day money-back guarantee: full refund of setup fee if the deployed skill pack does not deliver at least one fully-compliant Section 6.1 proper invoice and at least one tone-matched followup draft within 30 days of go-live. Full terms are set out in your engagement agreement, provided before any work begins.
Propercheck is run by Tony Morra, Toronto. Background: years on job sites as a foreman, plus customer-service operations work. I've spent a lot of time hearing trades operators complain about getting paid — and watching them write invoices that don't actually trigger the legal protections they're owed.
I work with Anthropic's Claude for Small Business product and build the Ontario-specific skills that the generic tools don't have. I don't sell you software — Anthropic already does. I set Claude up for you and train you and your bookkeeper to use it. That's the whole pitch.
I'll show you on a video call whether it's even a "proper invoice" under Ontario law — and what your A/R chase would look like running through Propercheck. No deck, no slides. Just your data.
