Built for Community.
Designed for Momentum.
HQ was created because we believe work — and life — get better when we stop doing everything alone. We’re building a softer, modern workspace that blends function and hospitality.
A place to land, to build, to connect.
A place where ideas gain traction and businesses grow roots.
From flexible desks to collaborative rooms, community events to targeted business support — HQ is where real work gets done, together.
When Resolve Consulting first opened its doors, one thing became clear very quickly:
So many entrepreneurs, freelancers, and remote workers in CK were building incredible things — most of them from their kitchen tables, spare rooms, or coffee shops.
They needed more than just Wi-Fi.
They needed:
• Dedicated space
• Community
• Support
• Somewhere to land
HQ was created to answer that need.
This is a space rooted in the belief that people thrive when they have room to think, collaborate, and feel supported. It’s a home base for building big ideas — without leaving the region we love.
our Origin
We imagine a Chatham-Kent where entrepreneurs feel connected rather than isolated; where creative talent stays, grows, and flourishes; and where small businesses feel empowered to build sustainable lives and careers here.
HQ is our investment in that vision — one space, one conversation, and one connection at a time.
our Vision
Supporting small business is at the heart of what we do.
We’ve seen firsthand how lonely it can feel to build something from scratch. The idea of HQ is simple: create space, bring people together, and offer the tools needed for real progress.
Because when entrepreneurs have support, they don’t just build businesses — they help build community.
