Is there totally free government grant information available?

Of course, there is actually a lot of totally free government grant information available on the government grants and loans program for small businesses. The Canadian government has set aside many grant awards that you could be eligible for as a self-employed business owner. Grants include various methods of one time and renewable funds, equity financing, and there are different funding sources, e.g., the National Research Council Industrial Research Assistance Program which provides non-repayable contributions with successful applicants.
