The economy has affected my small business to the point that it is struggling. Are there government assistance programs for me?

Small businesses across Canada have been affected by the current economy. So, a wide amount of struggling small business owners seek grants and other assistance to aid them in weathering these turbulent times. The best first step would be to look for government grants or other assistance programs specific to your company’s location, maybe even from the local government. While broader financial aid programs can still apply, many local governments may offer tax breaks or other incentives, depending on your company’s functions and contributions to the local community and economy.
