How Aaliyah Blanding Secured $75,000 to Scale Ontario Honey Creations


When Aaliyah Blanding started her beekeeping business, Ontario Honey Creations, she wasn’t just selling honey.

She was building something bigger — a sustainable, local brand rooted in Ontario agriculture, education, and community.

But like many early-stage entrepreneurs, she faced one major obstacle:

Access to funding.

This is the story of how she turned that obstacle into momentum.


The Pain Point: A Real Business Without the Required Documents

Aaliyah had already done the hard part.

She had:

  • Established her beekeeping operations

  • Built a brand and online presence

  • Developed products and sales channels

  • Proven customer demand

She was ready to scale.

Her next step was applying for the Futurpreneur Canada Core Startup Program, which offers financing and mentorship to young entrepreneurs.

The opportunity was there.

But the application required:

  • A complete business plan

  • A professional cashflow forecast

  • Clear financial projections

  • Structured documentation

Like many founders, Aaliyah knew her business deeply.

But translating that into formal financial and planning documents was overwhelming.

“I knew my business could grow. But putting everything into the format required for funding was the hardest part.”

Without those documents, the funding couldn’t move forward.


How She Found Bconomics.ai


Aaliyah discovered Bconomics.ai while searching for help with business plans and financial forecasts for funding applications.

She needed something that could:

  • Turn her real business data into structured documents

  • Clearly present her growth plan

  • Meet funding program expectations

She decided to try the platform.


What We Did: Turning Her Vision Into Funding-Ready Documents

Using Bconomics.ai, Aaliyah generated:

  • A complete business plan

  • A detailed cashflow forecast

  • Supporting financial projections

The documents reflected her real operations, her growth strategy, and her expansion plans.

They showed:

  • How funding would be used

  • How revenue would grow

  • How the business would scale sustainably

Most importantly, they gave her the confidence to submit her application.


The Result: $75,000 in Funding Secured

Aaliyah successfully secured $75,000 in business financing through the Futurpreneur Core Startup Program.

This funding changed everything.

She can now:

  • Expand production capacity

  • Invest in equipment

  • Increase inventory

  • Reach more customers

  • Grow her revenue

Her business is no longer limited by resources.

It’s positioned for growth.


The Impact: Scaling Ontario Honey Creations

With funding secured, Aaliyah is expanding her business model to increase revenue and scale operations.

What started as a small beekeeping business is becoming a scalable brand.

Her focus now is growth.

Not survival.


Looking Ahead

Aaliyah’s story is still being written.

But one thing is clear:

With the right tools and the right support, entrepreneurs can unlock real opportunities.

Ontario Honey Creations is now on a path to scale.

And this is just the beginning.


“Bconomics.ai helped me turn my business into something I could present with confidence.


The platform made it possible for me to apply for funding with real financial projections and a professional business plan.

Because of that, I was able to secure $75,000.

This funding is helping me grow Ontario Honey Creations and expand what I’ve built.

I’m incredibly grateful for the support and what this has made possible.”
