Does the Ontario government provide grants to women business owners?

Women small business owners may be eligible to receive Ontario government grants for their small business needs, some of which are specifically open to women only. There are more women only grants at the provincial and national tier, which may be advantageous because they have less competition for them than more general grants, and may be more geared towards the needs of women small business owners. When seeking money from the government, consistently know what you need to do with it and how much you need so that you can sort through the programs based on their intended uses and eligibility terms.
