Main Resources
Business Benefits Finder
This is a great online tool that collects all the federal government supports, along with the majority of provincial supports. Companies and entrepreneurs can use the site to filter to their specific needs, including location, sector, and leadership demographic. This site is updated in real-time and is a free self-service resource. If you promoted anything on your site, I would select this one!
Innovation Canada
ISED’s Innovation Canada has a suite of programs and services to support innovative companies. The site I have shared is the Innovation Canada homepage with links to all the resources.
Canada Intellectual Property Office (CIPO)
An online tool to find the right business permits and licenses.
