Ready to export? Opportunities NB launches new funding policy | CFIB

Opportunities NB launched a new capital investment policy designed to support the growth of export-oriented small businesses. The Capital Investment Enhancement Policy is available this year.

The policy aims to help export-oriented small businesses make some of the capital investments required to compete in markets outside of the province. New Brunswick companies with fewer than 100 employees can apply for either a:

• 20 per cent investment in capital projects valued between $50,000 and $150,000 or,
• 25 per cent investment in capital projects valued between $150,000 and $250,000.

Applicant companies must have a product for export, import, replacement or integration into New Brunswick export supply chains. Successful applicants must also be paying their employees an average annual salary of more than $30,000.

Eligible expenditures include equipment and building costs, major software upgrades and productivity improvements.
