Where can I apply for a small business loan or grant for my business?

The Canadian government provides funding through the government grants and loans program for many small businesses like yours to help them with additional business costs. In addition to getting a small business loan, you could also be eligible for a grant. One type of government grant program is the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program, which provides many grants to businesses on a yearly basis.
