Government grants and assistance

We have extensive knowledge of government programmes. We can evaluate your eligibility. We can help you make key contacts at all levels: federal, provincial and municipal. We will help you prepare your applications.

Financing

We network with the local financial institutions. We can help prepare and evaluate your business plan. Our staff has practical experience in banking and we have good contacts with risk capital firms. Through the CLD, we can also offer unsecured loans of up to $50,000 for business development.

Real Estate

We keep an up to date list of industrial buildings and office space available for sale or lease. We can show you premises that meet your needs. We also keep a detailed inventory of land available for construction and will help you find your ideal business premises. We are the one source of information on the zoning regulations and local taxes for all the communities in the West Island.

    

Networking

We organise networks specific to the needs of our business leaders. These include the Presidents’ Club, Export Net, Human Resources Managers’ Network, and Operations Managers’ Network for West Island firms.

Lifestyles

We publish a “Lifestyles Kit” to help new and prospective residents take full advantage of what the West Island has to offer them and their families. This tool is designed to help local firms recruit from outside of Montréal.

Statistics

We compile a West Island statistics package providing detailed information on employment, investment and demographics in our region.

Strategic support

We have access to expertise to help you develop and expand your business. We have counsellors in production, human resource management and export development. If necessary, with the support of the Local Employment Centre, we can help pay for specialised consultants.
