NL Business Growth Program (Startup Stream)
NL Department of Industry, Energy and Technology · Provincial
In plain language
NL's provincial business support program covering startup, innovation, scaling, and commercialization. Up to 50% cost-share, typical award $15K–$200K over 24 months for standard projects. Delivered by IET case officers — getting a good officer is half the game. Strongest for NL founders past the idea stage who need match funding for specific growth activities (market development, initial production, R&D). Distinct from the NL Business Investment Program (nl-bip) which is equity; BGP is grant. Continuous intake. NL-incorporated, operating-in-NL required.
