Government of Canada Expanding CEBA Announcement: Starting on Friday, December 4, 2020, eligible businesses facing financial hardship as a result of the COVID-1...9 pandemic are able to access a second CEBA loan of up to $20,000 on top of the initial $40,000 that was available to small businesses. Half of this additional financing, up to $10,000, will be forgivable if the loan is repaid by December 31, 2022. This means the additional loan effectively increases CEBA loans from the existing $40,000 to $60,000 for eligible businesses, of which a total of $20,000 will be forgiven if the balance of the loan is repaid on time. As announced in the Fall Economic Statement, the application deadline for CEBA has also been extended to March 31, 2021. To apply, eligible businesses and not-for-profits need to contact the financial institution that provided their initial CEBA loan and provide the appropriate information and documentation. WHERE TO START: To get the help you need: 1. To help slow the spread of COVID-19 and safely reopen our economy, download the COVID Alert App. 2. Visit our government’s COVID-19 Economic Response Plan website for information about supporting your employees and your business. 3. Contact your local financial institution. Since we know most small businesses have a relationship with their local financial institution already, we’ve worked with the financial sector to increase their lending capacity to support you in this challenging time. They are an excellent first resource. 4. Consult the Canadian Business Resilience Network, a partnership between our government and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to help your business prepare, persevere and prosper through this crisis. 5. Check out the new PPE Supply Hub Canadian businesses in need of personal protective equipment, and businesses looking to sell these supplies can go to this hub to connect. 6. Make the POST Promise to show employees and customers that you take COVID-19 prevention seriously by practicing key health and safety steps and maintain a safe workplace. 7. Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety for a free online course to provide businesses with all the information they need to reopen safely.

Local drives the economy When you buy goods and services from locally owned or franchised businesses, more money stays and circulates in the community. Local s...upply chains are strengthened because small businesses usually source materials and services from other local businesses, service providers and farms.
