Just as there are grant programs of aboriginals, or immigrants, as a woman in business you are able to find funding programs, especially grants for a new business in Canada.
The Canadian government has hundreds of open grant and loan programs, and a number of women’s grants for a new business.
The simple truth is that as a woman you no longer need to go through different hoops in order to find the funding you and your small business deserve, it is freely available and presented along with other grant and loan programs.
So how exactly do you proceed to apply?
Applying for Women’s Grants for a New Business
The first things that you must take care of when applying to women’s grants for a new business is to list our what you need funding for. Do you need funding for starting up, to write a business plan, for consulting, to purchase equipment or land, to hire and train staff, to do marketing/advertising, or maybe for all of it?
Take into consideration that the more specific you are when applying for funding and the funding agencies the more likely your small business is to be funded.
The number of funding agencies which provide women’s grants for new businesses often want you as a small business to be prepared when doing your presentation or your application and funding request.
Be sure to include your business plan (which you can create using our Business Plan Builder Tool), and have a detailed list of what you need funding for, how much funding you need and if successful at obtaining funding, how it will benefit your small business. All of these are important, or critical components when applying to a women’s grant program or agency.
Once you have that, you are set to start applying.
