Accessible Financing to start, grow or purchase a small business.
We proudly manage the Community Futures program alongside PacifiCan, a partnership dedicated to supporting local businesses. Our main goal is to help small businesses in Comox Valley and Strathcona Regional Districts thrive by providing them with financial support and expert advice. We understand that getting money for a business, which is crucial, can be really tough for those who are just starting out, running small operations, located in rural areas, or facing other challenges.
With more than three decades of experience since we started in 1986, we’ve built strong relationships with businesses like yours. Over the years, we’ve seen that even a little bit of help can have a big impact. It can open up new opportunities for businesses, create jobs, make the local economy more diverse, and ultimately help communities grow and succeed.
Our team, both the board and staff, are all about supporting you. We want to celebrate your successes, understand the challenges you face, and help you get the funding you need in a friendly, respectful, and encouraging way. We truly believe that small businesses play a crucial role in making communities better and more prosperous.
