Welcome to LIFT, Local Business Support

for Lunenburg County Entrepreneurs

Whether you're a seasoned business owner wanting to expand
or an entrepreneur just starting out with an idea, we offer
mentorship, connections and financial resources right here in our community.

LIFT is not a government organization, we are a group of community-minded people focused on
social good, and on making Lunenburg County a great place to live for everyone.

What does LIFT offer?

Seasoned Mentorship

One-on-one coaching on starting or growing a business from experienced local entrepreneurs. Our volunteer advisors have all walked different paths through entrepreneurship and developed a deep understanding of regional market dynamics, regulatory environments, and cultural nuances, making them uniquely positioned to provide guidance that is both relevant and highly practical.

Valued Connections

Networking with other local small and large business owners is an invaluable strategy for any entrepreneur looking to begin or grow their business. It's not just about exchanging business cards at events; it's about building long-term relationships that can lead to mutual benefits. By engaging with a diverse group of business owners, entrepreneurs can unlock a world of opportunities that might not be accessible otherwise.
