Do I need to know how to write a business plan to apply for Canada government small business grants?

Knowing how to write a business plan may be a part of applying for a grant in Canada as many government grants require you turn in a business plan as part of your proposal. Alternatively, you do not need to know how to write a business plan yourself because there are certainly companies in Canada or online that can do so on your behalf. Although the Canadian government sites regarding how to write a business plan should be the first place to look for the information you need for your funding proposal, the research is not always easy to find. As such, you may need help from an independent research organisation. For help researching small business funding programs provided by Canadian government agencies, please contact CanadaStartups.
