What do you do first when starting your own business in Canada?

A good first step when starting your own business in Canada is to make a business plan and budget. These documents will guide you through the process of making decisions in the future of your business, and will allow you to see what you need additional funding for. If you find that you need extra funding after making your budget, consider a government grant or loan for new business needs. Each offer has its own qualifying terms and conditions and intended uses. So, be sure to note these in your search for additional start up capital.
