It was recently announced by the Honourable Mary Ng, Minister of International Trade, Export Promotion, Small Business and Economic Development, that Women’s Enterprise Organizations of Canada (WEOC) will be providing loans of up to $50,000 to women entrepreneurs and business owners, particularly for start-ups, underrepresented groups or sole proprietorships which may experience more difficulty in accessing financing.
WEOC will deliver the Women Entrepreneurship Loan Fund this fall through WeBC and other regional partners. They will work with women entrepreneurs at every stage of the application process and deliver top-quality wraparound business support, including helping applicants with the development of viable business plans and providing advisory services, training and loan aftercare.
