Before I get started on my topic, I would like to extend congratulations to Expressions of Honor- our newest retailer in Coronation. Let Lorena, Blaine, Holly and Nonni tempt your senses with their unique gifts, cappuccino and lattes or fine photography. Stop by and explore their delicious deserts while you browse their many items- many of which are locally made. Have you had an idea for a business, but weren’t quite sure how to put your plans into action? Paintearth Economic Partnership Society is here to help. Many people have a great idea for a business, but are scared that others will not see the opportunity that it presents. Our services are confidential. We can assist you with developing a business plan to examine such concerns as market identification, competition, potential suppliers, labour information, and business structure models. As part of the process, we will work with you to develop detailed cash flow forecasts, and financial statements. All this information is necessary to not only examine whether your business has the potential for success, but also to arrange financing should that be needed. We work with many different lending agencies to assist your business start up. During our meeting or discussion, I will typically ask some questions to determine your awareness of the type of business you are proposing and to gauge how serious you are in moving forward. Your may also operate a home-based business and see the potential to create a storefront or new location. We can help with that as well. We maintain contact with all the realtors in our region and have an extensive list of municipal-owned property as well. We can assist in determining new markets for your business, or provide consultation services from Productivity Alberta to maximize efficiencies and value for your manufacturing business. Paintearth Economic Partnerships’ goal is to provide a single point of contact to assist business and grow the entire Paintearth region. Did you know that 80 percent of new businesses will result from local interest? Having our communities promote the region collectively increases our effectiveness, while keeping our costs manageable. We are here to serve you with your business development needs. All of our services are free of charge.
