It depends on the project, not the investor. The lower amount applies where the enterprise principally does business in a targeted employment area or invests in a qualifying infrastructure project; otherwise the standard amount applies. Verify current figures before committing.
The project decides the number
Hypothetical example: a Grand Bay-Westfield business owner is shown two offerings, one at the lower threshold and one at the standard amount, and assumes the difference reflects quality. It does not. The lower figure is available only because of where the enterprise principally does business or what it invests in, and the designation is a factual matter that must be evidenced at the time of investment.
Before choosing, ask for the documentation supporting the designation, the date it was determined, and what happens if it is later challenged. The amounts themselves have been changed by legislation and are subject to periodic adjustment, so read the current official figures rather than an offering document written earlier. The wrong assumption here is expensive in a way that cannot be corrected later by paying the difference.
