If your business operates in Camrose, AB, you can apply. Funding here is typically a merchant cash advance, a business cash advance or revenue-based financing, sized on deposits rather than collateral. Camrose is a city of 18,772 residents (2021 Census), grown from 18,742 in 2016.
The census shows health care as the leading private sector at 19.4% of local jobs, followed by retail and construction.
Figures from the 2021 Census Profile published by Statistics Canada.
Here is where Camrose residents work, by private-sector industry, compared with Alberta as a whole:
| Industry (NAICS) | Camrose | AB |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 19.4% | 12.8% |
| Retail trade | 15.7% | 11.4% |
| Construction | 8.3% | 9.5% |
| Accommodation and food services | 7.4% | 6.0% |
| Manufacturing | 6.5% | 5.3% |
| Other services, such as repair and personal care | 5.0% | 4.7% |
Compared with the province, Camrose is unusually concentrated in health care (19.4% of jobs versus 12.8% provincially). Local suppliers, trades and service firms often ride the same cycle. A second, smaller concentration is retail (15.7% of local workers).
Hospitals, schools and public offices anchor local jobs. That tends to smooth retail and service deposits. Expect a Camrose winter slowdown in construction and a post-holiday dip in spending.
Explain a predictable dip when you apply rather than letting the numbers speak alone.
A dental practice in Camrose with about $152,000 in monthly deposits takes $122,000 to take a supplier's volume discount at a 1.20 factor rate, for a total payback of $146,400 over about 6 months. That works out to roughly $5,635 a week, or about 16% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $24,400 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
