Importers and distributors who bring goods in by air or rail hold stock before selling it across the province. Inventory financing advances against that stock, so purchasing can keep up with orders instead of with the bank balance.
Calgary Economic Development says the city has the highest concentration of head offices per person in Canada (FP500, 2024) and is home to the head offices of almost every major oil and natural gas company.
