Get Started with a Kick Start Youth Loan

Community Futures Central Alberta knows it can be hard to start a side hustle business when you are already working or in school. Whether it’s an online store, freelance service, mobile business, or creative venture, Community Futures Central Alberta is here to help young entrepreneurs get started with our Kick Start Youth Loan!

Designed specifically for individuals aged 18 to 34, this program offers up to $25,000 in flexible, accessible financing to support the launch or growth of your side hustle. Whether you’re working a full-time job, going to school, the Kick Start Youth Loan is made to fit around your lifestyle.

This funding can be used for start-up costs, inventory, equipment, marketing, or technology—whatever you need to take your business to the next level. We know traditional financing can be difficult to access, especially for first-time entrepreneurs, so we’ve created a simple application process, with minimal red tape and low fees.

But we don’t just stop at funding. At Community Futures Central Alberta, we offer personalized business coaching, training opportunities, and ongoing support to help you succeed—not just survive. We’re invested in your growth and committed to helping you build confidence as a business owner.

If you’re ready to start small, dream big, and build something of your own, Kick Start Youth Loan is a great first step. It’s more than just a loan—it’s a boost of momentum for young entrepreneurs across Central Alberta.
