In April, the Government of Quebec has created, for a limited time, the Emergency Assistance for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses financial program to support eligible businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. This new fund comes in the form of a loan, up to a maximum of $50,000 and aims to alleviate cash-flow-related challenges.
