How These Companies Received Over $27,000 in Business Expansion Grants

We have secured over $2 million in government grants for business expansion for our clients. Whether you’re looking to grow your business in Canada, U.S. or globally, there’s money waiting for you!

We know how much capital it takes to expand operations and many companies often look for loans through their contacts, banks or private lenders. But with all of these options, you have to pay back the money and the interest. 

With a business expansion grant, you don’t have to pay back any money at all. This source of funding is not used nearly enough. The grants we have secured for clients range from $20,000 to $200,000, particularly in life science, agriculture, manufacturing and communication technology sectors. 

What would you do if your expansion projects had another $30,000 in the budget? What about $50,000? It’s all possible. 

Many companies aren’t sure what kind of expenses are covered with business expansion grants. The details are different for each grant, but the money can be used to cover a variety of costs including flights, shipping expenses, trade show booth and accommodation. 

We notify clients as soon as they qualify for a market expansion grant and we set up a meeting to apply on their behalf. To give you a sense of how these have worked for our clients, here are two of many companies for which we successfully secured funding.

Because job creation is really important for both the federal and provincial government, there are a variety of employment grants to help small and medium-sized businesses. They are especially focused on giving young people under 30 years old meaningful work experience.

With interest-free funding, companies can recruit new staff to complete more projects, get fresh ideas and achieve more business objectives. Employment grants can subsidize someone’s salary or training expenses. For many of our clients, interns or new hires have been retained for permanent or long term positions.
