Ontario small businesses may qualify for federal, provincial, regional, or sector-specific funding for hiring, research, equipment, technology, facilities, exports, and growth projects. Eligibility depends on each funder’s definition of a small business and the required Ontario connection, which may involve an operating site, employees, project activity, or expected benefits. Confirm both conditions before comparing eligible costs, funding mechanisms, timing, and required business contributions.
