It’s a bird, it’s a plane… no no, it’s government funding
Does government funding for small businesses exist? Yes it does.
The Canadian government in fact has billions of dollars handed out each year to small and medium sized businesses all across Canada in order to help them succeed, create jobs, and grow the Canadian economy. Currently, the Canadian government has [total-grant-programs] grant programs, [total-loan-programs] loan programs, and [total-other-funding] financial programs available in our own Funding Database.
Finding Government Funding
Sometimes one of the simplest things a business owner can do when it comes to finding government funding for their small business is ask for help. There is no shame in not being able to find funding on your own.

Learn about the funding available for your small business. It just takes a second!
Many small business owners and startup businesses look for funding close to home such as family, friends, and local banks. Some use personal credit and borrow money from credit cards and lines of credit. But rarely do people think to ask the government for funding.
As mentioned above, the Government of Canada funds billions of dollars into small businesses all across the country. This means that funding is available for your small business, in your industry, and in your province.
All that you have to do is ask for help.
The Problem
Most small businesses do not know where to turn when looking for government funding. The obvious first step sounds simple: go to the Government of Canada website.
But if you have tried it, you know exactly what the problem is.
- Too much information
