PEI Business Support
Running a business in PEI is a unique experience. We have the lovely benefit of a tight-knit community, but we also know that the "next level" usually requires a solid plan and the capital to execute it. Luckily the provincial government offer programs to help Island businesses increase their competitiveness and reach.
While we focus on the creative strategy and design work, we want to make sure our clients are tapped into the local resources designed to help those ideas take flight.
Here are a couple programs that our client often access:
1. Small Business Assistance Program
This program is for small businesses that are ready to make a significant leap in their operations. Our clients typically use this funding to aid in the development of a new website or upgrade their existing site to offer e-commerce.
2. Export Enhancement and Diversification Fund
If your business has reached a point where you’re looking beyond our shores, this fund its designed for that. Entering a new market involves everything from specialized marketing to travel for trade shows. This fund can cover up to 60% of market research, advertising, and promotional materials to help you diversify where your revenue is coming from. The goal is to get more Island-made products and services into the global marketplace.
These programs require a formal estimate from your service providers, so if you’d like to work with us on a brand identity, website, or the development of print or web materials, reach out and we’ll help get you application ready!
