Edmundston sits within the CBDC Madawaska service area, a region historically shaped by forestry and wood products, seafood processing, tourism and hospitality, advanced manufacturing, and agriculture. Businesses here often face the same growth constraints — access to capital, limited internal bandwidth for strategic planning, and the need for outside expertise to validate decisions before committing resources.
Advisory funding for Edmundston is administered locally through CBDC Madawaska, part of the Atlantic Canada CBDC network funded by ACOA.
No. The Consulting Advisory Services program is a fee-reimbursement grant, not a loan. Eligible businesses in Edmundston are reimbursed up to 75% of approved consultant fees (capped at $5,000, HST excluded) — there is nothing to repay.
The program is funded by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and administered locally through CBDC Madawaska. Business Crafters 3.0 is an independent consulting firm; we are not the funding administrator, and final approval rests with CBDC Madawaska.
This program is generally limited to existing, operating businesses. Startups are not eligible under the default CAS rules that apply across the Madawaska network.
No consulting firm can guarantee funding approval. We help Edmundston businesses prepare a strong, complete application, but eligibility and final decisions are made by the program administrator.
Eligible engagements typically include business planning, financial advisory, marketing strategy, operational improvement, and digital transformation projects — the type of structured advisory work Business Crafters 3.0 provides.
