We work with businesses earning under $10 million a year and with founders raising their first rounds. We find the programs and investors that fit, then write the business plan, financial model or pitch they'll judge you on.
An established business usually borrows or applies for a grant. A startup usually sells a share to investors. The work is different, so pick your side.
Governments lend or give money to businesses like yours every year, but each program has its own rules, forms and deadlines. We match you to the ones you qualify for and prepare what they ask for.
Your bank makes the loan and the government guarantees most of it, so banks say yes to businesses they would otherwise turn down. Canada's program is for businesses with revenue of $10 million or less a year. Common uses are equipment, renovations and a second location.
Grants usually pay for one specific thing, such as hiring, training, exporting or starting up, and often cover only part of the cost. Use the funding finder below to filter by region, amount and use.
A Persian restaurant in North York planned a second site funded by a loan of about $300,000 under Canada's Small Business Financing Program. We ran the site study and the growth plan together, so the location and the loan application tell the same story.
The lender sees where the money goes, why that site, and how the new location pays it back.
Tell us your province or state, what the money is for and roughly how much you need. We'll reply with the programs worth applying to.
Investors and accelerators see hundreds of decks a month. We help founders get to the second meeting with a clear story, numbers that hold up under questions, and a pitch they've practised out loud.
Open the stage you're at:
Each has its own investors and its own questions. Biotech investors ask about regulatory paths and IP; SaaS investors ask about retention. We prepare you for the questions your investors will ask.
Send us your stage, your sector and when you plan to start meeting investors.
Set your filters and the board updates as you go. Deadlines count down, and each card opens a full page on that program: who qualifies, how much, and how to apply.
Amounts, deadlines and rules change as governments open and close rounds. A struck-through date means this year's deadline has passed; most of those programs reopen the next cycle, and we keep watching them. This page is a guide, not legal or financial advice. Always confirm details on the official program site linked from each program page.
We can check whether you qualify and prepare the plan, projections and forms it asks for.
