Small businesses with uninsurable damage from the heavy rain and windstorm on November 23 can now apply for disaster financial assistance.

The Disaster Financial Assistance Program provides small businesses with up to $200,000 to help with costs to repair or replace uninsurable, essential basic property loss (like appliances and furniture) due to storm flooding. Municipalities, not-for-profit groups, and Nova Scotians can also apply.

Use the Disaster Assistance for Small Business Application Form to apply for financial assistance for damage or loss to your small business from storm flooding. Applications are available online and will also be available at Access Nova Scotia centres, MLA offices, municipal offices and by calling 211. The application period will be open for about three months.
