Let’s Work Together For Your Clients' Success

Partnering With Community Futures Grows A Prosperous Small Business Community

We know that it can be frustrating when an enthusiastic entrepreneur comes in, has a great business idea they wish to bring to life and you know it’s a great idea too, however, the bank’s policies prevent this business from getting the funding they need to get started.

When a financial institution’s business lending policies don't allow for a prospective client to receive a lending product, we want to partner with you to ensure their success and help bridge that gap to make them bankable.

We do so by:

Helping them build a solid business plan by planning for the best case, average and worst case scenarios

Creating a marketing plan or expansion strategy

Providing one-on-one coaching, business consulting and mentoring

Securing financing

Partnering with us helps create community growth, jobs and economic diversification in the Taber region.
