Despite many of our tax dollars going towards the government grant programs, few businesses actually take advantage of them. The federal and provincial governments award millions of dollars in grants each year, yet most business owners miss them out because:
- they don’t know grants exist, so when they hear about them, they think it’s a scam;
- they think grants are the same as loans and have to be paid back;
- they think it’s too difficult to apply;
- they think there are too many obligations after they get the funds.
The good news is that businesses in DUKE Heights BIA are now eligible to receive up to $2,500 in funding that:
- is a grant (not a loan), so it does not have to be paid back;
- has an easy application process with a high approval rate;
- has minimal requirements after the funds are received;
- is 100% legitimate and backed by the Province of Ontario.
This provincial grant program is designed to financially help businesses grow their brand and sales. The application window will remain open until September 30, 2023, or until the grant money has been fully utilized. Nonetheless, because the grant is also available to businesses in all 80+ BIAs in the GTA, we don’t know how quickly they will run out. Applications are approved on a first come, first-serve basis.
