This program will provide eligible businesses with up to $6.25 million in credit to cover operational costs such as payroll and rent.

Canada Emergency Business Account

UPDATE DECEMBER 4: The Government of Canada has expanded the CEBA program for new applicants and existing recipients!

The Canada Emergency Business Account (CEBA) launched earlier this year to help businesses cover operating costs during the COVID-19 crisis, where revenue could be reduced. Effective December 4, CEBA support has been expanded from $40,000 to $60,000 in an interest-free loan. This expanded financing is available to new applicants (who can apply for up to $60,000 in financing) and existing applicants (who can apply for an additional $20,000 in financing.)
