A large local tourism operator is receiving a multi-million-dollar loan guarantee.
Reps with Cabot Links in Inverness can access as much as $14.25 million through the Tourism Sector Financing Assistance Program.
The program, which was announced in October, provides a standby letter of credit operators can use to secure loans; the goal is to help rebuild one of the sectors hit hard by COVID-19.
The Nova Scotia COVID-19 Response Council fund will guarantee as much as 95 per cent of the amount borrowed; the amount of debt can’t exceed $15 million per operator, while the interest rate can’t exceed the prime lending rate plus 1.5 per cent.
