Prince Edward/Lennox & Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) is committed to serving both Prince Edward County and Lennox and Addington Counties by providing free business advice and support in our Picton, Napanee, and now Northbrook locations.

Chris Winney of Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty has generously supplied office space at her facility at 12309 Hwy 41, Northbrook, for PELA CFDC to use as a satellite office on the last Friday of every month. John Jackson, the Chair of PELA CFDC, a Federally funded not-for-profit economic development corporation, states that this gives business in the north of our service area the opportunity to meet face to face with our professional staff.

Gillian Chapman of PELA CFDC will be available, by appointment, to provide confidential business advice and support, plus information on:

Business Loans up to $150,000 with fixed interest rates starting at 2% above prime.

Business planning tools.

Business Grants.

Interest Free business Loans of $5,000 & $50,000.

Self Employment Benefit Programme to support business start up for EI/ODSP recipients.

E-Learning: Computer based training available free to the business community.

Canadian Youth Business foundation: To support youth entrepreneur start-ups.

PELA CFDC was welcomed to Northbrook by a number of business and government representatives who support the initiative of opening up the availability of Federally funded services to the area.
