How BBN Labs helps
- BBN designs eye-catching storefront signs and branding that draw foot traffic, making your business impossible to miss on the street.
- BBN coordinates your interior build-out and storefront construction, bringing in the right trades so you get a polished, customer-ready space.
- BBN guides you through the application and deadlines so you don't lose the funding.
What to know before you count on it
- Cost-share: you pay for the work first, then you're reimbursed (about half) after it's done and inspected.
- Apply and get approved BEFORE you start any work or buy anything — starting early disqualifies most of these.
- Area-gated to Regina's designated CIP/BIA zone — confirm your address qualifies before you spend.
- Municipal funding is limited each year — confirm money is still available.
What are your odds?
Area-gated and funding-limited, but a straightforward fit if your Regina address qualifies and you apply before starting.
