BUSINESS FINANCING
IN TOFINO.
Tofino is the Pacific Rim's major resort town: a charter-fishing and wildlife-viewing fleet, resort and surf-tourism hospitality at national scale, and the trades and services of a small town that hosts a world audience. BizFin.ca helps Tofino businesses explore equipment, vessel, fleet and working-capital financing.
Proudly Canadian. Built for Canadian businesses.
THE PACIFIC PAYS — AFTER THE BOAT, THE BOARDS AND THE BUILDING.
Tofino's economy runs on the ocean and the season: charter-fishing operators working offshore tuna and inshore salmon and halibut grounds, wildlife-viewing operators serving a regulated and responsible whale-and-bear watching economy, surf schools and rental businesses, and a resort-and-restaurant sector that operates at big-city standards in a town of a few thousand.
Marine businesses buy vessels, engines and safety systems; hospitality buys fit-outs; rental businesses buy fleets and gear. BizFin.ca helps Tofino businesses explore financing around that resort-town mix — with hard shoulders bracketing a powerful summer.
