How do I know if there is the Canadian government funding for small business needs?

Small business owners in Canada may be able to get government funding for things like buying machinery, advertising, hiring employees, and more from loans and grants. The government has programs provided at the national, provincial and local levels which can assist business owners in meeting their goals that may be problematic to achieve without the extra funding. If you are considering a grant or loan, find out how much you want and what you will use it for before beginning. This will allow you to better determine which options are best for you. Also take into consideration the qualifications for each program because they are all different.
