Is just any start up business able to apply for the Canadian government funding?

Start up small businesses can get funding from the Canadian government in the form of loans and grants. The loans and grants are provided at the national, provincial and local tiers and are funded from the respective government budgets annually. The money is given to applicants that demonstrate their ability to use it in ways that will be constructive and benefit society. These may include small business owners who have plans to make companies that will employ more people, and be most successful. If you need funding you should determine how much you need and what you want to use it for, and begin your search. Make note of the prerequisite terms for the programs you are considering, as they are all different.
