The Problem

BC Strata Management Is Regulated, Labour-Intensive, and Expensive

BCFSA requires licensed brokerages, Managing Brokers, and UBC Sauder certification
Separate trust funds per corporation — co-mingling is illegal
SPA mandates strict workflows: 14-day bylaw windows, 7-day Form B, quorum rules
CRT resolves most disputes — evidence quality wins cases
Credit cards cost strata 3%+ on fee collection ($9K+/year per 50-unit building)
Managers spend hours on reconciliation, forms, and complaint tracking
Legacy software is expensive, US-centric, and has zero Bitcoin/sovereignty path

Go-To-Market

Smart Within the Law

BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) requires licensed brokerages for management services. Hermes is software — not an unlicensed management company.

Licensed Brokerage Partner

Hermes powers your BCFSA-compliant operations. Your Managing Broker supervises. We automate trust accounting, compliance, and payments.

Fully compliant — software used by licensed entity

Self-Managed Strata Council

Owners managing their own building use Hermes directly. No brokerage license required when owners manage themselves.

SPA-permitted self-management path

Council + Licensed Oversight

Council runs day-to-day in Hermes. Licensed manager provides brokerage oversight, Form B/F, and trust fund compliance.

Best of both — efficiency + BCFSA compliance
