Expanding a business can be a challenge, especially when funds are limited. Community Futures Lethbridge Region is here to help you scale your business with the financing and resources you need. Our experienced team of Business Advisors understands the unique challenges of expanding a business, and we can walk you through the process of business planning for all scenarios.
To grow, most businesses need money to pay for things like hiring staff, marketing, larger or additional locations, tools & software, and training & certifications. Our Business Advisors can help you secure the financing you need to fund these essential aspects of business development.
At Community Futures Lethbridge, our goal is to help make your business more bankable. If you’ve been turned down by a bank, we can work with you to create a sound business plan that meets your needs. Our team of rural Alberta Business Advisors is skilled in helping businesses succeed in our unique business climate.
We offer a range of services to help you grow your business, including setting up your expansion strategy, reviewing your cash flow, creating a marketing plan, one-on-one coaching and business mentoring, and securing financing. Our flexible terms can be tailored to meet your business needs, and our focus is on helping businesses succeed, not increasing shareholder profit.
If you’re wondering how much money you’ll need to grow your business, our Business Advisors can help you explore future costs, estimate your cash flow, and show you tools to plan expenses. Best of all, our business planning and coaching services are free, and we offer specialized small business training and programs often at no or very low cost.
