In Canada there are many grants you can access to grow your business.

Once you know what you want to go after, you need to think about where the funding is coming from and expectations on the part of the government.

Grants are like a government Investment.

If you were to invest in a business what kinds of things would you want to see in place to know your money has a good chance of getting a return ? This is how you need to think about grants.

Whether you get the chance to present to a funder in person, or simply present your case in an application process, keep this in mind.  Always understand the metrics of the fund you are applying to. Be ready to get to the top of the list by ensuring your information clearly helps them see how they can get an ROI if they invest in you.
