Businesses in the MRC des Laurentides and the MRC des Pays-d’en-Haut can now benefit from the Aide aux entreprises en régions en alerte maximale (AERAM) component of the Programme action concertée temporaire pour les entreprises (PACTE) and the Programme d’aide d’urgence aux petites et moyennes entreprises (PAUPME). PAUPME is administered by the MRCs, while PACTE is managed by Investissement Québec.
Restaurants, fitness centers and nursing homes that have had to close their doors are among those eligible.
They will be able to obtain a subsidy covering up to 100% of their fixed costs for the months during which the company is in the red zone, up to a maximum of 80% of the amount of the emergency loan granted to them. The maximum PAUPME loan is $50,000.
