Thinking about starting or growing a business?

Before applying for financing, it's important to have a solid foundation in place. A clear business idea, understanding of your market, and a basic business plan can help set you up for success.

At Stó:lō Community Futures, we're here to help Indigenous entrepreneurs navigate the business planning process and explore financing options when they're ready.

Not sure where to start? Contact our team to learn more about our business support services.

SCF will never sell, share, or distribute contact lists containing personal or business information. Any message offering this is a scam.

These emails may:

Request payment for marketing or contact lists

⚠️ Important:
If you receive a message like this:

Do NOT respond
Do NOT click any links or payment requests
Delete the email immediately

If you have already made a payment or shared information, please contact our office right away at 📞 604-858-0009 so we can support you.
