    Guide to Getting Government Grants for your Small Business in Canada

    As a startup or existing business owner in Canada, the one thing that constantly is on top of your mind when making any business decision is “money”.

    Small business funding!

    • You need it!
    • Want it!
    • Must have it!

    The problem is, the 'small business funding' and more so “government grants” specifically, is like a accessing a minefield of information, with direction arrows scrambled.

    Where do you go to learn about the funding needed?

    How can you use the funds?

    WANT TO LEARN MORE?

    Struggling To Get Small Business Funding?

    Who can benefit from the funds?

    How much can you get?..etc

    Are the government grants available for you specifically?

    The Small Business Grants Guide is a PDF document that is available for you to download, no charge, and is an excellent way to learn about government grants, various source of funding, to see how the funds are provided, who is eligible and the critical components you need within your own business in order to increase your chances of getting grants for your small business.

    What are government grants?

    Government grants are funds provided by local, provincial and federal governments across Canada; to help small business owners with their businesses. The Canadian Government relies heavily on local small businesses to stimulate the economy, increase employment rates and bring money to the local communities.

    In order to support them, our governments provide small businesses with funding to help business owners to cover many of the costs associated with running a business. Doing so ensures the success of small businesses Canada-wide. Because government departments don’t often promote themselves, it
    can be difficult to find what grants are available at any given time. With this come many  misconceptions, which impact what we – the public – know of and think about when it comes to grants.

    Be sure to read on to avoid the same mistakes.

    This Small Business Government Grants Guide will take you though the options to ensure that you are ready to start your funding search with knowledge needed to ensure your success.
