Grants & Additional Financing

Grants for small businesses and start-ups tend to be limited.

Canadian federal, provincial, and municipal government bodies can help your business through grants, loans, or other forms of financing. Finding and applying for government grants or loans can be a time-consuming, complex process. Be aware that you may not find any government financing programs that are specific to your current business needs.

Community Futures Wildrose is not affiliated with any of the programs listed below and if you have any questions about applying, please contact the funding organization directly. If you are interested in further exploring grant funding, we recommend looking at Canada Business Network, Alberta Women Entrepreneurs, and Fundica for more information.

When looking into small business grants, remember: You should never have to pay for grant information!
