What difficulties can I expect when I apply for free government grants for my business in Canada?

Most importantly, you will have great difficulty if you are looking for free money – Canadian government business grants are not free because of the terms attached to them. Also, every grants program has a specific purpose it is designed for, with each grant having its own conditions and terms for prerequisite and use of funds. So, keep that in mind to avoid the more common difficulties such as wasting your time by seeking to apply for the wrong government grants in Canada. If you find a grant that suits your objectives, you must determine that you meet any prerequisites for said grant. If a free land development grant exists for Canada, for example, then owning land in Canada will meet the prerequisites. Once the conditions are met, you must still submit an application for approval.
