Retention & Expansion

 

Predominantly, the largest percentage of a community’s job growth and capital investment comes from companies already doing business within the city. It is critical to not only monitor the health and expectations of these existing businesses, but to also understand the perceptions that could adversely impact their growth. An important part of what Venture Kamloops is to work with companies to help facilitate access to incentive programs, individuals, partners and sources of funding to improve their chances of success. Ask how you can receive targeted data and market analysis on business and economic conditions. Contact Colin O’Leary, Manager – Business Retention and Expansion at colin@venturekamloops.com to set up a meeting.
