What is the truth about small business grants?

The truth about small business grants is that they are a very valuable source of income funding for small business in Canada. The Canadian government offers many federal and provincial government grants to small businesses in Canada. Grants programs include both one-time awards and renewable grant funds. There are federal government grants to help with starting a business, grants to help with improving an existing business, and many others. Small businesses in Canada grow in numbers each year as a result of grant funding provided through such programs as the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program.
