Are start up grants for a new business the same as other grants available in Canada?

Grants designed specifically to help start up a new business may have several similarities with other small business government grants. However, there may be differences with more general grants that are intended for a wider range of purposes. Most government start up grants programs will not be concerned with multiple applications for different grants funds, especially if the separate applications are for different purposes for the new business. So, you may wish to apply for more than one of these grants to increase your chance of success.
