Businesses will soon have a rebate to help them label locally made goods.

The funding is part of the Nova Scotia Loyal program, which encourages people to buy locally made goods and shop at local businesses.

The rebate would cover up to 70 per cent of the cost of labelling the products, with a maximum rebate of $3,000 per business.

Graphic design, printing, packaging and dying are all eligible expenses under the program.

The total budget for the labelling program is $300,000.

More than 270 businesses are registered through the Nova Scotia Loyal program. People can search the entire list on the program’s website.
