It achieves these aims primarily by facilitating the injection of capital. Specifically, the FLI provides loans that make it possible to secure other sources of financing, such as a conventional bank loan, subsidy, investment or other additional capital.
The FLI targets investments of less than $150,000 that will promote the emergence and development of businesses and the creation or preservation of viable jobs.
This program is for small or mid-sized businesses that have their head office or place of business in Vaudreuil-Soulanges and are active in primary industry, manufacturing, a propulsive service industry or a structuring propulsive industry.
The FLI does not invest in businesses active solely in subcontracting or privatization.
