Compare Canadian business grants, loans, tax credits and wage subsidies. Start with who is applying, where the work will take place and what the funding needs to cover.
Choose a type of funding
Grants usually don’t require repayment if you meet the agreement’s terms. Contributions may be repayable or non-repayable. Compare loan terms if you can take on debt, and check the rules for claiming a tax credit on eligible work or expenses. Wage subsidies can cover a portion of eligible payroll costs. The federal Business Benefits Finder also lists investment, research and advisory support.
Browse by applicant, location or project
Start with funding for small businesses, startups, women entrepreneurs or nonprofit organizations. Check whether the funder uses the applicant’s operating location or the project site. Browse Ontario, Quebec, Alberta or British Columbia, or select another province below.
For a defined project, browse innovation funding or manufacturing funding. Use the results to shortlist programs, then confirm intake status, eligible costs and dates in the funder’s guide.
