Wouldn’t it be terrific if an unlimited supply of government funds were available just for the asking, when our businesses get into rough waters?
Other than in very rare circumstances – such as those triggered by Covid – there’s very little, if any on-going grants available for businesses to carry on their day to day business (in Alberta, where we’re located at least).
For clarity: if you’re searching for a grant to help you cover your cash flow because of tough times, well, you won’t find one.
You will however find employment-related/growth-related grants that carry narrow qualification provisions, some of which are listed here:
