Grant Guidebook for Small Businesses in Ontario
Where can I get a list of Ontario small business grants?

Executive Summary

• Looking for individual grant programs one-by-one is inefficient and will make you resent looking for grant funding
• Government websites often have resources available to help small businesses identify grant funding 
• We created GetGranted to act as a one-stop-shop resource for identifying grant funding for businesses in Ontario.

Trying to find grants for your small business can be challenging. To support business owners, the Ontario government has resources available to help guide your search. Not only are there grant directories, but there are organizations that exist to help you with other aspects of small business ownership as well. Let’s take a look at the resources available to Ontario businesses: 

Grants:

• Federal grant funding finder
• Ontario grant programs
• Ontario business grants

Other resources: 

• Ontario Small and Medium Business Coalition
• London Small Business Centre
• Ontario Business Improvement Area Association
• Ontario Chamber of Commerce
• Scarborough Business Association
• Small Business Owners of Ontario

This is certainly not an all-encompassing list. There are countless grant programs that are not provincially administered, and therefore wouldn’t be on these websites. For a comprehensive list of grant programs for small businesses in Ontario, we created GetGranted.
