Pre-Planning Consultation

One conversation could
change your entire build plan.

Before you break ground, sign a contract, or spend a dollar — find out what Alberta funding programs apply to your project. A $99 written summary delivered by email.

Get Your Summary — $99

Most producers find out about funding after they've already started.

By then, it's often too late. Many Alberta farm funding programs require written pre-approval before any purchase or construction begins. Once work starts, eligibility is gone — regardless of how well your project qualifies on paper.

A pre-planning consultation costs $99 and takes the guesswork out of what's possible before you commit.

Important: Programs like OFCAF require written pre-approval before any eligible purchase is made. Starting construction or buying equipment before approval disqualifies your project entirely — no exceptions.

If any of these describe you, this consultation makes sense.

🏗️

Planning a New Building

Equipment storage, grain handling structures, shops, or processing facilities. Multiple programs may apply — and some can be stacked.

🌾

Expanding Your Operation

Adding land, livestock capacity, or infrastructure in the next 12 months. Know what funding is available before you finalize your plans.

🚜

Buying Major Equipment

Certain equipment purchases — including rotational grazing systems — qualify for significant rebates. Pre-approval is required before buying.

📋

In the Early Planning Stage

You have an idea but haven't committed to anything yet. This is exactly the right time — funding availability can shape how you structure your project.

Transparent Pricing

Simple, Flat Fee

Pre-Planning Consultation
$99

Written email summary of programs that likely apply to your planned project. Based on a detailed description you provide — no formal report, no calls required.


If you choose to proceed with a full application after receiving your summary, pricing for that is quoted separately based on the program and scope of work. Any project where approved funding exceeds $50,000 includes a 1% success fee on the total approved amount.
Example: $100,000 approval = flat application fee + $1,000 success fee.
