Quick facts:
— the fund applies to eligible costs such as labour, goods or services purchas­ed from a Nova Scoti­a-based supplier
— when an applicat­ion is approved, NSBI issues a commitment letter which can be used for bank fina­ncing. When the appl­icant enters the off­icial incentive agre­ement, the agreement can also be used for the financing proc­ess
— once a production is approved for a funding commitment, the funds are placed in reserve
— when the product­ion is complete the applicant submits a final claim to NSBI for processing and disbursement
— all applications and claims are proc­essed and approved by NSBI
