Eligible Activities
All types of businesses that are considered to be desirable and essential to your local community will be considered. These include sole proprietorships, student cooperatives, partnerships and corporations.
Summary
Students in Business can provide:
- access to sources of start-up information and advice, and mentoring by interested experienced entrepreneurs
- up to $5,000 per business in the form of a non-interest bearing loan, which must be repaid based on terms negotiated with the Delivery Agent.
Assistance can be applied against start-up capital, lease hold improvements, equipment, inventory and working capital associated with the running of your business, which could include owners drawing and other wage costs. There are few restrictions on what the loan can be used for which will be discussed with you at the time of your application.
