Business Development
BOB provides development services to area businesses, social enterprises, individuals and organizations wishing to start a business in the Inner-City. BOB has experience working with non-profits, business planning, connecting clients to funding, government and other collaborators in the private sector. We can also help find suitable real estate, help your business work its way through the city licensing and permits and introduce you to new market opportunities.

To further our mission we would like to make available to select partners, individuals, and businesses the main floor of 163 East Pender Street. We hope that this open shared work space can contribute to the revitalization of the inner-city by providing a space for creative professionals to flourish, for ideas to percolate, to cross pollinate, for businesses to grow, a place where stuff gets done.
What we’re offering is a work surface, be it a desk, a chair, a table, a couch, or the bay window, wherever you’re most comfortable. Of course we’ll offer wi-fi and other niceties such as an electronic white board and a projector to facilitate discussion and creative thinking. There’s a fridge for your food, a microwave, filtered water cooler, and secure storage for your bike. The price is a flat $200 per month (plus HST) and includes keyless access.
We’re looking for creative professionals, progressive thinkers, the socially responsible and ecologically conscious who want to be surrounded by others of like mind. Folks who want more than a cubicle and a 9 to 5 and dream of bigger things and a better Vancouver to call home. If this sounds like you, contact Wes Regan at wes.regan@bobics.org
