Do government grants require me to be in the business for a period of time before being eligible for funding?

The government grants require different mandates for their particular grants and loans. For small business funding you would be going to the Canadian government grants and loans programs for small business funding. The government grants require any individual in need of small business funding to fill out the application and submit other information that is needed, to determine if the business qualifies for small business funding through any of these programs.
