Canadian small businesses owned or led by women can explore grants, loans, tax credits and business support for startup, hiring, equipment, innovation and growth projects. Some programs specifically support women entrepreneurs; others are open to all businesses that meet their eligibility requirements. Compare ownership and leadership thresholds, business size, location, eligible costs and application timing. Confirm whether support must be repaid and how much your business must contribute.
