That sentence, in plain words

Three kinds of firm are named. One is a small firm in a low income area or a rural area. One is a small firm working mainly in a covered tech field. One is a small maker of goods.

What this is about

Money put into these firms may be left out of a count. That count is used to set how much a fund may borrow. Each kind is spelled out in another law. Those laws are not on this site.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
