Governments in Canada seek to stimulate the economy through funding for small business. In fact, they have set aside billions of dollars each year for small businesses to stimulate the economy and help you to start, expand, and improve companies like yours.
Will your small business benefit from government funding from federal and provincial sources? Many companies like yours capitalize on government small business funding for many purposes, including;
Grants and Subsidies (one-time and renewable)
Low or no-interest loans
Tax refunds or tax credits
Government insurance against business risks
Guaranteed government purchases of your product or service
Government Information and Services
Conditionally Repayable Contributions
Grants in-lieu of Property Taxes
Equity Financing
Relocation Grants
