About us

At CBDC Central PEI, we are on a mission to empower entrepreneurs and fuel the growth of small businesses and startups! As a non-profit organization led by a volunteer board of directors, we provide a dynamic mix of business financing and skills training opportunities to help visionaries turn their ideas into thriving businesses.

Our goal is to ensure that every entrepreneur has the resources, knowledge, and support needed to succeed. Whether you're just starting or looking to expand your existing business, we’re here to help you grow, innovate, and achieve your dreams. With CBDCs (Community Business Development Corporations) at the forefront, the future of business is more accessible, efficient, and exciting than ever before!

The directors are volunteers from the business sector dedicated to helping make their community a better place in which to live and work. The strength of the CBDCs is in our volunteer boards. They have an intimate knowledge of the local markets, the business environment and the people in their communities.

We are part of the Community Business Development Corporations (CBDCs), a network of 41 independent, not-for-profit organizations across Atlantic Canada that work in cooperation with all levels of government and the private sectors. CBDC Central is also one out of 267 active members of the Community Future Network of Canada (CFNC) organizations.
