New Deadlines Are Coming Up! 📅
First things first, deadlines are shifting. You know how that goes—just when you think you've got time, the clock starts ticking faster. So, mark your calendars and set those reminders!

Why Alternate Financing? 🤷♀️
Here's the kicker: While CEBA loans are a lifeline, they're not a "one-size-fits-all" solution. To get the most out of the forgivable portion, you might need to think outside the CEBA box. Alternate financing could be your best friend here.
The Perks 🌟
1. Flexibility: Alternate financing can give you the wiggle room you need to meet all the CEBA eligibility criteria.
2. Safety Net: Let's say you fall short of the requirements for the forgivable portion of the CEBA loan. Having a backup plan, like a line of credit, can be a game-changer.
3. Peace of Mind: Knowing you've got all your bases covered can relieve a ton of stress. Trust us; you'll sleep better at night!
So, What's the Next Step? 🚀
Our advice? Start exploring alternate financing options ASAP. Whether it's a traditional loan, crowdfunding, or something else, diversifying your financial resources could make all the difference in snagging that forgivable CEBA portion.
