What help is there for a new Canada start up business?

A new start up business in Canada could use a grant or loan from the government to help cover some of the initial costs. There are options for the entire cost of opening a business as well as for smaller costs. These may include for advertising or hiring employees. If you already have a business plan and budget in place it will be easier to find a suitable program, as each has its own intended uses. Also check the eligibility requirements of the options before making your decision.
