The maximum size of the loan your business or organisation is eligible for depends on the number of full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) employed. The loan amount is $10,000 per firm, plus $1,800 per FTE.
To find out the number of FTEs employed by your business or organisation, you'll need to know how many full-time and part-time employees you have.
- An employee working 20 hours or more per week is considered full-time, and counts as 1 FTE.
- An employee working up to 20 hours per week is considered part-time, and counts as 0.6 FTEs.
The sum of your FTEs is rounded up to the nearest whole number and is measured at the time you apply.
