CTNext Launches Entrepreneur Learner's Permit Program

October 2, 2016

The program, which was signed into legislation in July 2016, allows owners and executives of qualifying small businesses to receive reimbursement up to $1,500 for fees associated with starting a new company (including state or municipal filings, licensing fees and permitting fees).

"Starting and running a business in its earliest stages can be a massive undertaking," said Glendowlyn Thames, director of CTNext. "This program does more than cover fees-it is another step Connecticut has taken to create a more active ecosystem and assist entrepreneurs when they need it most."

First-time entrepreneurs in the information technology, bioscience, and green technology industries can qualify to receive up to $1,500 in reimbursements.

The Entrepreneur Learner's Permit legislation sets a funding cap of $500,000 in fiscal years 2017 and 2018, equaling $1 million for reimbursable fees for entrepreneurs in the state.
