Are first time small business owners eligible to apply for a government grant in Ontario?

There may be a first small business owners grant for those in Ontario. However, the grant options change annually based on the past reception of grants, societal needs, and the reception of grants within the past. To find a program that you can spend on your small business, determine what you need to use the money for and how much you require. Then you can sort through grants offered in Ontario by their intended uses. If there are no choices that are best for you in your area, consider looking for a provincial or national offer.
