The loan terms will be for up to ten years, depending on the financial “gap”, and the
demonstrated need for EEF funding. The terms will also vary based on borrower’s security.
The interest rates will range from 3% to 7% based on a demonstrated need and financial gap.
The following activities are those typically funded with business assistance funds.

• Construction loans (business/developer)
• Land acquisition loans (business/developer)
• Loans for privately owned on-site improvements (business/developer)
• Loans for business start-ups (business)
• Equipment purchase loans (business/developer)
• Working capital loans (business/developer)

The Dunsmuir Business Assistance Guidelines state that least one full-time equivalent job — as
