How to Apply to the Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund - FACE Info Session [West & Ontario/Quebec]

412 joined us on our 1st Face2Face National tour last week! Now that the Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund has been strengthened from $158M to $291.3M, we need to talk! At FACE we believe in the power of the "Micro". Challenges & opportunities in Toronto are not the same as in Edmonton or Surrey. As such, we want to provide details on the new budget, the criteria & conditions for the newly Launched fund in a "Micro-Approach". This video is the combination of 2 live anglophone Zoom info sessions that were held this month to answer all your questions on the Black Entrepreneurship Loan Fund (BELF).
