The Quebecor Fund’s contribution to eligible business models is a reimbursable investment applicable to the business model financing package. The minimum contribution for each business model is $50,000, to a maximum of $300,000. The investment provided must not exceed 40% of the overall financing package.
Recovery of the investment takes place over a period of thirty-six (36) to sixty (60) months. The business model must anticipate the aforementioned financial aid recovery by protecting the investment and anticipating a return on investment, which will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Companies that have had their fair market value assessed by an independent expert can obtain an additional contribution of up to $80,000 from Quebecor Fund to cover interest payments for a maximum of five years on a loan to finance the transfer of shares to female personnel.
