CEBA Program Details For Small Businesses

An opening sign to denote a business using CEBA program details to stay open and surviive through covid-19.

CEBA program details is something that many Canadian business owners are looking for today as many businesses have had to shut their doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, due to the stress of their business shutting down and the financial burden that follows, many do not know where to start and feel overwhelmed. Hopefully, this article can help make things clearer.

CEBA Program Details – What is CEBA?

CEBA stands for the Canada Emergency Business Account and is a federal government loan program that provides small and medium-sized businesses with a limited-time, interest-free loan of up to $40,000. For more details on CEBA visit https://ceba-cuec.ca/. Here are some of the details of the program as provided to me by one of the banks that I deal with First Calgary below:

The CEBA Loan Includes:

  • $40,000 loan at 0% interest until December 31, 2022
  • No minimum monthly principal payments required until December 31, 2022
  • $10,000 loan forgiveness is available, provided outstanding balance is $40,000 at December 31, 2020, and $30,000 is paid back between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2022.
  • Payments can be voluntarily made at any time without fees or penalties

CEBA Program Details – Who is Eligible?

Who is eligible to apply for the CEBA program? Here is the list of criteria from the Government of Canada’s website below:

This account was opened on or prior to March 1, 2020 and was not in arrears on existing borrowing facilities, if applicable, with the Lender by 90 days or more as at March 1, 2020.
