Business development means more jobs and increased opportunities. iis is what Ontario Us doing to help businesses gr•. Suppose you operate a manufacturing company, or a firm that is a supplier to such a manufacturer. Suppose instead that you operate a tourist resort, or a tourist attraction that benefits local resorts. Others depend on you for a living.

The ODC was established by the government here in Ontario to provide financial assistance to businesses unab le to obtain necessary funds from conventional lending institutions. These programs are designed to stimulate industrial growth, encourage economic development and increase employment opportunities in the central and southwestern areas of Ontario. Similar programs exist to aid businesses in other parts ofthe Province. Briefly, ODC Financial Assistance programs are divided into two cate- gories-Incentive Loans and Term Loans. In central and southwestern Ontario, Incentive Loans are provided to es- tablish new manufacturing operations or service industries in support of manufacturing. These loans may be interest-free or at a rate lower than the ODC's prevailb- ing rate of interest. Commencement of repayment may be deferred until the company is established. Term Loans are available to finance new products and processes, exports, pollution-control equipment, industrial buildings, tourist operations and the expansion of small businesses. Your Ontario government has pre- pared a concise, easy-to-understand booklet explaining who may qualify for ODC Financial Services.
