How it works
How grants work
Grants are financial contributions offered by various levels of government or public organizations to support companies in their growth, innovation, hiring, training, or digital transformation projects. Depending on the program, a business can receive partial reimbursement of certain eligible expenses, such as professional fees, equipment purchases, software implementation, or the delivery of a strategic project.

What does the grant calculator estimate?
It gives an initial view of grant potential based on your company profile, location, industry, planned projects, and expected expenses. The result is a starting point, not a funding guarantee.
What information makes the estimate more useful?
The estimate is more useful when you know the project type, budget range, planned start date, province, number of employees, and whether expenses involve equipment, salaries, software, training, export, or R&D.
What should I do after receiving an estimate?
Use the estimate to decide whether the project deserves a deeper eligibility review. An expert can then confirm which programs are realistic, what documents are required, and when to apply.
