Contact your SADC or CAE for more information. If this program is not currently offered in your area, your local SADC or CAE office may still provide financing and support services.
In rural and remote communities, entrepreneurs often face greater obstacles in accessing funding. That’s why BDC and the Réseau des SADC and CAE have joined forces—to expand access to financing and advisory services, and to promote growth where it is often overlooked. Because opportunities should not depend on a postal code.
