The Cultural Industries Guarantee Fund has been created by the Alberta Cultural Industries Association with funds from the Alberta Foundation of the Arts and Canadian Heritage, to provide guarantees with financial institutions for companies working in the cultural industries ? book publishers, film/video producers, sound recording companies and magazine publishers.

Any small company faces challenges in securing strong relationships with financial institutions for corporate growth. The organizations which created the Cultural Industries Fund believe the Fund will act as a partner for companies that have the potential for growth to take advantage of those opportunities.

The form is available for download.
