Funding
The Government of Canada and other private institutions have grants available for small businesses that you do not need to repay, as well as loan options with little to no interest that are amortized over extended periods. These options are available in specific provinces and to eligible groups. There are many great resources to use when creating or expanding your small business, and we want our students to take advantage of them!
