  What Is a PMCN BEAM Grant?

  A BEAM (Broadband for E-Business and Marketing) grant is a grant, not a loan and is therefore not repayable. It is a time-limited funding opportunity for Small and Medium Sized Enterprises/businesses. (SMEs). The grant program is administered by PMCN (Parry Sound Muskoka Community Network) on behalf of FedNor. This program is the 4th round of BEAM funding in our region.

  The grant is for investments in e-business, which is the use of the Internet or any related technology to assist in your normal business operations. PMCN BEAM grants are available for SMEs in the electoral district of Parry Sound Muskoka to the south of Burk's Falls.
