Our small business loan
program is giving a LIFT
to the entire B.C. economy.

Small businesses are the backbone of
the B.C. economy. Together, they
employ more people than any other
sector. That’s why, in these economic
times, the Government of B.C. has
created the LIFT (Low Interest
Funding Today) program. It’s
helping B.C.’s small businesses
improve their business. And that’s
essential to the economic recovery of
our province.

By doing something big
for small businesses, we’re
creating more jobs.

LIFT financing goes to businesses
that can demonstrate growth

potcnual, strong management, and

B.C. And a stronger, more diverse
economic base.

A program that finances
the future in a
businesslike way.

LIFT concentrates on small
businesses in vital areas of the
cconomy: manufacturing and
processing, high technology and
resource-related transportation. The
kind of businesses that will create
