What are grants and does the government offer them?

Grants are a form of funding that does not need to be repaid. The Canadian government offers many grant programs for small businesses. However, since grants do not need to be repaid it means that the application process is highly competitive. If you are unable to receive a grant from the government you should consider a government loan as a source of funding.
