How to stack them

  1. 01Confirm you meet each program's eligibility on its own. Nunavut Small Business Support Program and NWT Support for Entrepreneurs and Economic Development (SEED) are assessed separately.
  2. 02Apply to each program through its own application. There is no combined form.
  3. 03Allocate distinct costs to each program. You cannot claim the same dollar of expense under both, but you can fund different parts of the same project.
  4. 04Track both deadlines and keep the paperwork separated, so each claim stands on its own.

Stacking rules vary by program and change over time. Confirm the current rules with each program, or take the quiz and we will flag the combinations you qualify for.
