RG Welding & Steel Services Inc.

At RG Welding & Steel Services Inc., they believe every great idea deserves to be built. Whether it’s structural, ornamental, aluminum, or stainless steel, they bring your vision to life with precision and craftsmanship. Big or small—they do them all.

For Rylan Gallant, welding wasn’t just a job—it was a passion. Owning his own business was always the dream, and after years of thinking about it, he finally took the leap and got the ball rolling. That bold decision turned into RG Welding & Steel Services Inc., a company built on skill, dedication, and a commitment to quality.

Starting a welding business isn’t easy. One of the biggest hurdles? The cost of equipment. High-quality tools and machinery are essential, but they come with a hefty price tag. That’s where BACD’s Starter Company Plus Program came in. Through the program (funded by the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade), Rylan learned how to create a business plan that works in real time and gained strategies to manage cash flow effectively. This structure gave him the confidence and clarity to move forward.

The support from BACD didn’t just help Rylan start—it helped him grow. Today, RG Welding & Steel Services Inc. operates from one location and is preparing to expand by hiring new team members. The future looks bright as the company continues to build a reputation for quality and reliability.

When it comes to attracting clients, Google has been the #1 source of leads, followed by Yellow Pages. A strong online presence has been key to connecting with customers who need welding and steel services they can trust.

Rylan’s advice for aspiring entrepreneurs:
“Make sure you have enough in the bank to float you until clients pay their invoices—or set payment terms to ‘due upon receipt,’ especially if you’re running a contracting business.”
