Canadian Government Grants & Loans

 

Grants are funds the government gives to citizens, businesses or organizations for specific purposes. A government grant refers to money that the government provides that usually does not need to be repaid. Although requirements and restrictions vary, several government grants are available for students, businesses and individuals. Each day, thousands of free government grant dollars are given away for a variety of business and personal needs. You may be entitled to this money and we urge you not to miss out on your opportunity.

Starting, expanding or acquiring a business can be a costly endeavor.  Business owners need to invest money in order to earn money, but the start-up capital is not always readily available. And while a business loan is always an option, they include high interest rates and worse yet, you have to pay it back.  With a business grant from the government, entrepreneurs and business owners can take advantage of free government funding that does not require reimbursement.

And while the grant money is given freely to put towards business expenses, certain circumstances will assist in a successful grant application for your business.  For example, certain business grants are aimed at encouraging investment in areas of poor economic standing, including assistance for relocation, creation of jobs and so forth. Your business grant would thus act as an economic stimulant for the immediate area.

We have listed some of the government programs that may assist you in your journey to obtain a government grant or loan.
