Business Development

The Department of Economic Development & Transportation provides funding for economic development and transportation projects to individuals, businesses, organizations and communities under the following programs:

The department also provides financial support to regional Chambers of Commerce in Nunavut, and to regional Business Development Centres, which offer loans and other business services.

Larger businesses that are unable to access sufficient debt capital from commercial sources may apply for a loan from the Nunavut Business Credit Corporation.

The department, in partnership with Industry Canada, operates the Canada-Nunavut Business Service Centre, which provides comprehensive information on business services in Nunavut, including the Nunavut Community Business Inventory, which lists businesses and services available in each Nunavut community.

To get started go to our Programs/Funding and Guide to Starting a Business in Nunavut.
