Penticton is a place where big ideas grow into big business. Our vibrant city has strong entrepreneurial spirit, with more than 3,600 businesses serving 100,000 people throughout the region. 

While we’re known for world-class wineries and deep roots in agriculture, our sectors are diverse and imaginative. Our resilient business economy includes a solid foundation of mature, multi-generational businesses as well as start-ups and newly relocated companies.

New to Penticton

With the growth of remote working and decentralized business hubs, more skilled workers and business leaders are choosing Penticton for the lifestyle advantage. More professional services are also relocating here, including marketing agencies, design firms, technology companies and other specialty businesses. 

Start Your Own Business

If you’re thinking of starting your own business, or seeking to relocate an existing company, start by reading Penticton's Guide to Business. It provides information to help you get started, including everything from business licences to zoning. You can also read it online at penticton.ca/business-guide.

Hard copies of this magazine can be picked up at City Hall, from the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Penticton Business Improvement Association, and South Okanagan Immigrant & Community Services (SOICS), to list a few places.
