SBLA Program 20th Anniversary
This year marks the 20th Anniversary of the Small Business Loans Association (SBLA) program in Saskatchewan. To celebrate this milestone, an awards banquet was held in Regina on October 19, 2009, honouring the men and women who have been involved with the program over the past two decades. Click here for more information about the event.
The Small Business Loans Association Program encourages diversification of the Saskatchewan economy and supports community economic development by making funding available, through community-run organizations, to non-traditional entrepreneurs. Thousands of small businesses have been assisted, and hundreds of Small Business Loans Associations (SBLA) have been formed, since the program was introduced in 1989.
NOTE: The SBLA Program is only available to Saskatchewan businesses.
Community-based interest groups, co-operatives, corporations, Rural Development Corporations and Enterprise Regions can form Small Business Loans Associations. Under The Business Corporations Act or The Co-operatives Act, the SBLA can incorporate as either "for profit" or "non-profit."
