    How can funding help your business?

    When starting a small business, many expenses will arise before you’re even close to making your first dollar. Funding can be especially helpful when it comes time to buy much-needed equipment, renovate your space, and when you’re ready to start advertising. 

    Obtaining funding for your small business, regardless of whether it comes from a bank, a private investor, or a government program can mean the difference between your business’ failure and success. Having access to funding in the early stages of business can open the doors to many opportunities to better develop your business and increase its reach. Increasing your chances of success, right from Day 1.

    Ontario Government Funding

    As an Ontario small business owner, you are in luck. The Ontario government allocates billions of dollars each year in an attempt to support small businesses across the province. Funding support comes from local, provincial, and federal governments and is typically in the form of a government grant, a low-interest or no-interest loan, a tax credit, or financial contributions.

    Our Small Business Funding Database currently contains 413 grant programs, 197 loan programs, and 310 assistance programs to select from. Funding varies in amounts from $1,000 to over $5 million in potential funding to small business owners across Ontario.

    Private Funding For Businesses

    Private funding can provide capital to help bring your business forward.

    Our Small Business Funding Database provides you with access to 862 private funding sources including angel investors, venture capitalists, and banks. Getting your small business funded is your primary concern, so we try to provide you with a wide variety of funding sources to dramatically improve your opportunities for success.

    Just like government funding, private funding sources fund businesses in pretty much all industries, across Ontario and for various purposes. Sometimes, private funding can prove to be a better option that offers many advantages that can’t be accessed when applying for funding through the government. Take some time to familiarize yourself with private funding and see what it can do for your small business goals.

    Funding Application Review Service (when you are ready)

    Funding applications can be daunting but we’re here to help! Through our Ask an Expert program, you can have one of our dedicated funding experts review your applications before you submit them.

    It doesn’t take long but it could mean the difference between success and failure getting funded.
