The SDE Thetford region at the service of SME in the Appalaches Regional County Municipality

THETFORD MINES, JANUARY 10, 2022. The Société de développement économique de la région de Thetford wishes to inform small and medium-sized businesses in the Appalaches Regional County Municipality that they can once again apply for financial assistance under the Aide aux entreprises en région en alerte maximale (AERAM) component of the Aide d'urgence aux petites et moyennes entreprises (PAUPME) program.

The purpose of the PAUPME is to support through loans of $50,000 or less, the working capital of SMEs with liquidity needs so that they can maintain, consolidate, or restart their activities. The AERAM is intended for businesses benefiting from the PAUPME. It allows businesses targeted by closure orders to obtain a loan forgiveness of up to $15,000 per month (maximum of 80% of the loan amount granted) to pay certain eligible fixed costs.

To apply or for information about emergency assistance programs for small and medium-sized businesses, contact the economic development commissioners at the SDE Thetford Regio at 418 338-2188 poste 221 or at www.regionthetford.com/en/region-de-thetford/team/.
