Digby Funding & Advisory FAQ

Is this funding a loan I have to repay?

No. The Consulting Advisory Services program is a fee-reimbursement grant, not a loan. Eligible businesses in Digby are reimbursed up to 75% of approved consultant fees (capped at $5,000, HST excluded) — there is nothing to repay.

Who administers the funding for Digby?

The program is funded by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) and administered locally through CBDC Digby. Business Crafters 3.0 is an independent consulting firm; we are not the funding administrator, and final approval rests with CBDC Digby.

Is this open to new businesses or only existing ones?

This program is generally limited to existing, operating businesses. Startups are not eligible under the default CAS rules that apply across the Digby network.

Does Business Crafters 3.0 guarantee approval?

No consulting firm can guarantee funding approval. We help Digby businesses prepare a strong, complete application, but eligibility and final decisions are made by the program administrator.
