PROVINCE EXPANDS SMALL BUSINESS IMPACT GRANTS
To support small businesses affected by the ongoing provincial COVID-19 restrictions, the provincial government is expanding the Small Business Impact Grant Part 3 program.
The province will top up payments made to all small businesses that qualify under the program by $5,000. Small businesses that have already received a grant under this program will automatically receive a $5,000 cheque, in addition to the up to $5,000 distributed through the Small Business Impact Grant Part 3.
New applications will be processed under the new terms. Business owners can apply at: https://novascotia.ca/coronavirus/small-business-impact-grant/
