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, however, the business can't get 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.
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 Lac La Biche region.
Who Do We Partner With?
Banks / Financial Institutions

We Help With Rural Economic Diversification
Rural Economic Diversification is the core of what we do. We work alongside community leaders and other key stakeholders to create Community Economic Development plans and implement projects that support value-added activity and expansion into new sectors.
We take the pulse of our business community and provide guidance on business retention and succession planning strategies.
Project Spotlight
The Alberta iMarket concept originated in a desire to promote regional, and rural, products and services to both a local, and a larger market. While many entities promote the businesses themselves, we had a desire to take it a step further and create a fully e-commercial platform where all forms of products and services could be presented.
The web site is a partner project that includes multiple Community Futures offices and the Conseil de développement économique de l'Alberta.
