Indigenous Business Stabilization Program (IBSP)
About a month ago, we sent you some information on a federal government program called the Indigenous Business Stabilization Program (IBSP) – that has been designed to help indigenous businesses that have been negatively affected by the COVID – 19 lockdown.
One of the Aboriginal Chamber of Commerce’s own members, First Peoples Economic Growth Fund (FPEGF), has been designated to help First Nations businesses access the program –
which provides eligible businesses with financing up to $40,000.
Since that time some of our members have already taken advantage of the program. But for those of you
thatmay have missed the first notice – we thought that it might help to send a second reminder.
The Fund allows eligible businesses up to a maximum financing amount of $40,000, comprised of a 25%
non-repayable contribution and a 75% interest-free loan to be repaid within 48 months.
The application process is not complicated, and the people at FPEGF (a proud ACC Member)
are there to help you along the way.
If you’re interested (and why wouldn’t you be!) download the IBSP application form at FPEGF’s website www.firstpeoplesfund.ca and read the Overview on the front page of that application form.
If you feel your business qualifies - complete, sign and return the application form to FPEGF with all required documentation, and you will be contacted as to your eligibility, or if they have further questions regarding the application.
Or, if you have any questions, feel free to contact the First Peoples Economic Growth Fund through email at IBSP@firstpeoplesfund.ca.
