    Maximum loans will be fully guaranteed by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and will have a repayment term of up to 10 years.

    Government has launched a new program targeted toward businesses operating full-service restaurants that require emergency debt restructuring to protect long-term operation. The Restaurant Loan Guarantee Program will offer loan guarantees up to $100,000 to financial institutions that lend to qualifying businesses. Maximum loans will be fully guaranteed by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador and will have a repayment term of up to 10 years. Interested businesses must submit an application within 90 days that demonstrates their eligibility for the program and provides a proposal for debt restructuring. Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis or until $10 million in guarantees have been issued, whichever comes first. More information can be found at gov.nl.ca
