How do I apply for grants from the government for my small business?

The application process for grants from the Canadian governments, both federal and provincial departments, is a process that may take time if you are not familiar with the forms, the endless lists of departments and agencies who offer these grants, and the information on completing the various forms. While it is a wonderful opportunity for any small business owner in Canada to seek out, it may be wiser to ask for assistance in undertaking this wonderful, yet detailed, opportunity. Depending on your type of business and what type of grant you are applying for, there are many different types of grants to suit your needs.
