Locally, manufacturing employs the biggest share of private-sector workers (14.8% of the labour force), and that mix is what a funder reads in the bank statements.

Employment by industry is the best public picture of what a local economy sells. In Shediac, the six largest private sectors look like this next to the New Brunswick average:
| Industry (NAICS) | Shediac | NB |
|---|---|---|

The sector that sets Shediac apart is manufacturing, at 1.8 times its weight across New Brunswick. That concentration shows up in deposit patterns, from contract payments to seasonal peaks. A second, smaller concentration is wholesale and distribution (3.1% of local workers).
Manufacturers pay for materials up front and wait to be paid. The gap between buying inputs and collecting invoices is where cash runs short. Cold months shift Shediac work indoors and pause outdoor projects.
Time a request before the busy season, not in the middle of the slow one.
A cabinet and millwork maker in Shediac with about $58,000 in monthly deposits takes $41,000 to take a supplier's volume discount at a 1.22 factor rate, for a total payback of $50,020 over about 10 months. That works out to roughly $1,155 a week, or about 9% of monthly deposits; the cost is fixed at $9,020 however quickly it is repaid on schedule.
