How does a small business in Canada know if it is qualified to apply for government grants?

The only way for a small business in Canada to know if it is qualified to apply for government grants is to do the research required to track down the grants in the first place. Once a grant is identified, one must compare the venture’s circumstances against the program’s presented criteria for application. Each grant is different, so determining this for one program alone will not mean the entrepreneur is eligible for all other government grants as well. Someone unable to find the information they need about what needs to be done to apply for government grants appropriate to a small business in Canada may benefit from a discussion with an independent research organization.
