In addition to the challenges of a rapidly changing, highly competitive global market, Nova Scotia companies say they are facing internal challenges that impede or prevent them from exporting.

The Service Export Program (SEP), is designed to provide funding to Nova Scotia companies, with a focus on small and medium-sized enterprises seeking to seize export opportunities in the service sector.

The SEP supports the domestic and international marketing efforts of Nova Scotia organizations in the business, educational or professional services sector.

The program helps cover the costs for in-market meetings with prospective partners and clients that have a high potential for significant business benefits to the company. SEP also supports the development of proposals, presentations, or collateral materials specific to this export application. Service exporters ready to finalize an export deal may be eligible for reimbursement of up to 50 per cent of eligible costs through SEP.
