Overview
IAPO – More than farm and agribusiness financing
Established in 1984, IAPO is a First Nation not for profit corporation which endeavours to empower First Nation communities through financial support and training for farmers.
If you’re a First Nation farmer or agribusiness owner in Ontario, we can assist you with financing, advisory services, training, and workshops. IAPO programs have been developed for First Nation agricultural businesses and can work in partnership with other programs.
While agriculture is core to IAPO, in 2013 the Board of Directors approved the expansion of lending services to include general business financing. To date, IAPO has provided financing for construction, transportation, trucking, retail, service and manufacturing businesses.
