Initiatives for Canadian government funding can help small businesses, large firms, non-profit organizations, and post-secondary research institutes.
Businesses in the retail and service industries often find it difficult to secure government grants and loans, whereas those in the industrial and technology sectors typically have the most access to funding sources.
The following business categories are eligible for grants and loans from the government:
- Agriculture
- Arts, culture and sport
- Business
- Environment
- For Indigenous peoples
- Gender equality
- Health
- International development
- Jobs or apprenticeship training
- Leave from work, caregiving, pensions
- Research
- Student aid
The key to utilizing these programs, however, is knowing which ones are most appropriate for your company and future goals.
