What is local to Calgary
The Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund lists working capital and business-as-usual costs among the things it does not fund; it backs milestone-based projects that grow the local economy. For a shop, restaurant or service business that needs working capital now, an advance is one private option: sized on card and deposit volume, remitted as a share of sales, quick to arrange and more expensive than bank credit.
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.
