As companies build out their export plan, working capital to support market entry and business development activities such as marketing collateral, trade show participation, labour, and more is needed. Participants in the Export Accelerator Program are eligible to access up to $25,000 in funding for such purposes. The funding is provided via the Impact Atlantic Fund in the form of a low-interest, personal loan which participants will be able to repay via export revenue secured through the program.
