Business Grants and Funding in Canada

Business funding in Canada includes grants, tax credits, wage subsidies, loans, capital, research support, and other mechanisms. Eligibility depends on the applicant, project, industry, location, costs, and timing defined by each funder. Compare whether support is repayable or claimed after spending, the contribution required from the business, and the obligations that follow. Define the project scope, budget, work plan, and expected outcomes before confirming current terms directly with the funder.

Explore funding for small businesses, women entrepreneurs or nonprofit organizations. Narrow your search by province and project to compare programs that fit your organization.
