Increase in interestfree loan Young entrepreneurs can now borrow up to $7,500, interest-free, from Ontario's Youth Venture Capital program. The previous limit was $5,000. Gregory Sorbara, Minister of Skills Development, said that the limit was in- creased in recognition of the fact that start-up costs have risen and it is often dif- ficult for young people to raise capital. "The Youth Venture Capital loans enable those who have practical business ideas to put them to work. We want to en- courage that entrepreneurial spirit." Sorbara also announced that the government guarantee on loans has been extended to five year from two with a monthly repayment schedule of two per cent. The changes are expected to attract an additional 300 participants a year, an in- crease of 40 percent. The $2.3 million Youth Venture Capital initiative is part of the Ministry of Skills Development's Start .Up program. Par- ticipants must be between 18 and 29, out of school and must provide a minimum of 20 per cent of the starting capital. They must also submit a business plan for approval. More than 2,700 loans have been approv- ed since the program began almost three years ago. One of the main reasons ap- plicants are refused is lack of sufficient capital. The program is administered by the Ministry of Skills Development and co- sponsored by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, the Royal Bank of Canada and the Ministry of Industry, 'Trade and Technology. "It .is important that we promote the ownership of small business as a career option. The new measures will help young people with fledging businesses pay off their loans in full and establish a cash flow to permit growth and stability," Mr. Sol, bara said.
