The Nova Scotia government has awarded a tech company an estimated $2-million payroll rebate for their new office in Halifax.
Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI) — the province’s business development agency — says it’s tying the five-year payroll rebate to MobSquad hiring 100 new employees.

MobSquad, which provides U.S. startups with full-time tech and software development support, must staff the new positions with a combination of new graduates and “new Nova Scotians.”
If MobSquad hires 100 new employees, NSBI estimates the company could spend $23,157,000 on salaries over the next five years.
