The Fund makes investments between $5,000 and $100,000 in Yukon First Nation businesses. The money may be used by approved applicants to help start, buy or expand businesses.
The Private Capital Fund (PCF) invests in Yukon First Nations, Yukon First Nation Beneficiaries and Yukon First Nation controlled entities that improve local economies and provide employment opportunities. These economic benefits must be located in Yukon.
As a Yukon First Nation entrepreneur, you may be able to access the fund to assist with the acquisition or growth of your business.
Yukon First Nations, Yukon First Nation Beneficiaries (as defined under chapter 28 of the UFA) and the Yukon First Nation controlled entities may apply to the Fund. Funds may be used to help start, buy, or expand businesses. If your business or business idea is viable but you are unable to obtain financing from the usual sources, the Yukon First Nations Implementation Fund Trust may be able to help you.
