Small Business Questions
Got a question? Ask us!
Individuals looking for small business loans are often concerned when they see online government grant money being offered .They will question as to whether this is legitimate money or not. One thing that has to be kept in mind is that the site itself is not the one funding the online government grant money, at least not when it comes to the Canadian grants and loans programs. However if this is a lending institution that has been authorized to handle the grants and loans money for small business then it would be different. Rather than enter into any type of agreement, dealing with qualified specialists that deal with the Canadian small grants and loans on a constant basis would be the best people to seek advice from.

What could you do for your small business if you were to obtain a grant or a loan of $5,000 or $50,000 or even more from the government? Or would you be able to benefit from a private investor investing their time and money into you and your business? It is a possibilityย…so be sure to find out how much funding your small business may be able to obtain. Become a registered member and start your funding search.

You can also take advantage of the Small Business Startup Assessment Tool below and see the tools and resources you need to succeed at launching your business. It takes just a minute and will also tell you if there may be any funding programs available.
