Explore Flexible Funding Options for Business Growth, Succession & Expansion

Whether you’re buying a business, planning for growth, or preparing to take over a family operation, access to the right financing can make all the difference—especially when traditional lenders aren’t an option.

Join us for an engaging lunch session with Mackenzie Miles (Director, Investments & Economic Development) and Jon Beaulac (Manager, Commercial Business) as they introduce the Columbia Basin Trust’s Commercial Investment Program—a flexible and often overlooked source of financing for businesses, non-profits, and social enterprises in Cranbrook and the surrounding area.

This session will explore practical funding solutions to support:

• Business succession
• Expansion and acquisitions
• Commercial mortgages
• Equipment purchases
• Construction and development

Gain valuable insights into how the Trust supports local investment and economic development in Cranbrook and learn how these resources can help move your business forward.

Beyond the presentation, this event creates space for meaningful networking, idea sharing, and connection among local business owners, managers, and organizational leaders.
