Employment by industry is the best public picture of what a local economy sells. In Val-David, the six largest private sectors look like this next to the Quebec average:
| Industry (NAICS) | Val-David | QC |
|---|---|---|
| Health care and social assistance | 20.4% | 14.2% |
| Construction | 11.0% | 6.8% |
| Retail trade | 10.8% | 11.8% |
| Professional, scientific and technical services | 7.5% | 7.9% |
| Accommodation and food services | 6.5% | 5.4% |
| Arts, entertainment and recreation | 6.2% | 1.7% |
What stands out is arts and recreation: 6.2% of local workers, about 3.7 times the Quebec share. Businesses that sell to, supply or serve that sector make up a large part of the local file mix. Construction is also above the provincial share, at 11.0%.
Visitors create a clear high season for restaurants, lodging, retail and recreation. Payments that follow sales suit that curve better than fixed instalments. Snow season helps Val-David clearing and indoor trades but slows patios and landscaping.
Time a request before the busy season, not in the middle of the slow one.
A fitness studio in Val-David deposits about $37,000 a month, of which roughly $29,600 comes from card sales. It takes a $17,000 advance for a second point-of-sale area at a 1.20 factor rate, so the total to repay is $20,400. With a 10% holdback on card sales, about $2,960 a month goes to the funder and the advance is repaid in roughly 7 months; in a slower month the payment shrinks with sales.
