Canadian government grant

Yes, the Canadian government has designated funding available that many small businesses can apply for. If you are a small business owner and want to improve, expand, or change the nature of your business, or if you want to start a new business, there is government funding in the form of government grants available to help you with getting your business project underway. Free government grants are available to help you start-up, expand, or improve your business. It is the opportunity to make a reality of your vision for your own business and how it can grow.

If you take a look at our Funding Database, we currently have 264 grant programs, 147 loan programs and 231 assistance programs available from the Canadian government. While not everybody is eligible for government funding, your small business may be. Take a minute right now and try the Startup Assessment Tool to see what you need to get your business started.
