Obtaining funding for your small business, regardless of whether it comes from a bank, a private investor, or a government program can mean the difference between your business’ failure and success. Having access to funding in the early stages of business can open the doors to many opportunities to better develop your business and increase its reach.

As an Ontario small business owner you are in luck. The Ontario government allocates billions of dollars each year in an attempt to support small businesses across the province. Funding support comes from local, provincial and federal governments and typically in the form of a government grant, a low interest or no interest loan, a tax credit or financial contributions.
Our Small Business Funding Database currently contains 413 grant programs, 197 loan programs, 310 assistance programs to select from. Funding varies in amounts from $1,000 to over $5 million in potential funding to small business owners across Ontario.
Private funding can provide capital to help bring your business forward.
Our Small Business Funding Database provides you with access to 862 private funding sources including angel investors, venture capitalists and banks. Getting your small business funded is your primary concern, so we try to provide you with a wide variety of funding sources to dramatically improve your opportunities for success.
Just like government funding, private funding sources fund businesses in pretty much all industries, all across Ontario and for various purposes. Sometimes, private funding can prove to be a better option that offers many advantages that can’t be accessed when applying for funding through the government. Take some time to familiarize yourself with private funding and see what it can do for your small business goals.
Funding applications can be daunting but we’re here to help! Through our Ask an Expert program, you can have one of our dedicated funding experts review your applications before you submit them.
