Financing
Our programs are more accessible than you think!
Are you dreaming of registering for an EEB course but are hesitating for financial reasons?
You should know that there are measures in place to facilitate access to our programs. EEB and its partners are committed to your success, and our team will be happy to guide you through the solutions available to you.
Interest-free loans
Interest-free loans up to 100% of the cost of the training, repayable monthly over the duration of the program.
The EEB - National Bank Fund
The EEB - National Bank Fund, in collaboration with the Ministère de l'Économie, de l'Innovation et de l'Énergie (MEIE), has been set up to provide access to candidates admitted as entrepreneur-athletes within a long-term program.
The Fund was created thanks to the financial participation of the National Bank as part of the EEB Sustainability Campaign, and has been enhanced with the support of the MEIE.
In the fall of 2023, National Bank added $500,000 to the Fund, reiterating its commitment to supporting entrepreneurs with financing challenges to propel their business journey.
Support from the Fund consists of interest-free loans. Monthly repayments, based on the duration of the Program, are returned to the Fund to multiply and extend the benefits of such support to entrepreneurs whose potential and reality justify this assistance.
Emploi-Québec
Mesure de formation de la main-d'oeuvre (MFOR)
Certain candidates admitted to course programs at EEB may be eligible for financial assistance under Emploi-Québec's Mesure de course de la main-d'œuvre (MFOR). Your local Centre local d'emploi (CLE) can provide details of this measure.
