Entrepreneurs and small business owners in the Ottawa Valley have the opportunity to receive financial support in the wake of COVID-19.
Enterprise Renfrew County – an economic development agency focused on entrepreneurship – has partnered with the City of Pembroke and the Ottawa Valley Tourist Association on a COVID-19 relief fund.
The initiative will provide up to $5,000 of non-repayable funding to businesses looking to pivot or adjust their business model during the pandemic, namely through changes such as transitioning to online sales and fresh marketing materials to attract new customers.
