Meet Angela Canales
Founder, Business Ignition Group
23+ Years experience | Women of Influence Recipient | Industry Leader | Business Growth Strategist | Community Advocate
I believe every successful business starts with a vision—but turning that vision into reality requires strategy, preparation, and the right guidance.
For more than 23 years, I have worked alongside entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals, helping them navigate growth, secure funding, overcome challenges, and build businesses positioned for long-term success. Throughout my career, I have developed lender-ready business plans, financial projections, strategic growth plans, and capital readiness solutions that help clients move from ideas to execution with confidence.
My professional journey has been shaped by a commitment to excellence and a passion for helping others succeed. I have been honored as a Women of Influence recipient, recognized for Significant Contribution and Achievement within the industry, and recognized as a Top Team performer. I have also served on the Professional Development & Education Committee with the Alberta Mortgage Brokers Association, contributed to industry education initiatives, and was selected as a judge for the Alberta Mortgage Industry Awards.
Leadership has always been an important part of who I am. Beyond my professional career, I have coached competitive sports teams, helping athletes develop the discipline, accountability, and confidence needed to achieve success. Several of those teams advanced to championship and finals appearances, reinforcing my belief that strong leadership, preparation, and teamwork are the foundation of exceptional results—both on the field and in business.
Community involvement is equally important to me. Over the years, I have participated in numerous initiatives supporting homeless shelters and individuals facing difficult circumstances. I believe success carries a responsibility to give back and create positive change wherever possible.
Today, as Founder of Business Ignition Group, my mission is simple: to help entrepreneurs think bigger, build smarter, and create businesses that are structured for sustainable growth. Whether you’re launching a startup, seeking financing, planning an expansion, or preparing for your next stage of growth, I am committed to helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a strategy for success.
Because at the end of the day, business isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people, purpose, and building something meaningful.
My Approach
Every successful business begins with a vision, but vision alone isn’t enough. Whether you’re launching a startup, seeking financing, expanding operations, or preparing for long-term growth, success requires a clear strategy, strong financial foundations, and a roadmap for execution.
At Business Ignition Group, I help entrepreneurs transform ideas into actionable plans, lender-ready opportunities and sustainable businesses built for growth.
Envision It
Every business starts with a goal. Together, we’ll define your vision, identify opportunities, evaluate risks, and create a strategic direction that aligns with your objectives. A strong foundation starts with understanding where you want to go.
Build it
Success requires more than ambition. I work alongside clients to develop business plans, financial projections, credit memorandums, and growth strategies designed to support funding opportunities and business development. Every recommendation is tailored to your unique situation and goals.

Once the foundation is built, it’s time to move forward with confidence. Whether you’re pursuing financing, expanding your operations, or positioning your business for future growth, my goal is to help you execute your strategy and create lasting momentum.
