City of Coquitlam
2018
Business LinQ is a one-stop business resource centre located at Coquitlam City Hall that helps navigate and interpret the City's various processes in relation to establishing or expanding a business. This free service provides resources and support to both existing and prospective business owners.
This one-stop shop model is an innovative approach that encourages local business development. The funding for the physical construction, marketing and opening was covered by the Economic Development division, while the operating budget and staffing is from business licensing.
