When you require a loan and are unable to access financing from traditional lending institutions, start with the Centre For Business.

We provide business loans from $5,000 to $150,000 for business proposals that create or keep permanent jobs in the region. Our loans offer flexible financing with repayment terms designed for your maximum advantage.

To be eligible for financing, potential clients must complete a business plan and loan application, and each application is reviewed and evaluated on its own merit. The deadline for submission of a business loan application is the last Thursday of each month (contact the Centre for confirmation of this schedule).
