6 types of funding and support available
The Fundica search tool developed in partnership with Desjardins pinpoints the best sources of government funding and support to assist, develop or expand your operations.
Grants
Grants are non-repayable financial contributions that support specific initiatives. They are usually provided by governments to encourage certain investments and are generally paid out before or during the investment period.
Tax credits
Tax credits are expenditure refunds or potential tax reductions or credits to encourage certain investments. They are usually received after the investment is made.
Government loans
Government loans are repayable financial contributions that generally have more favourable terms and conditions. These loans are usually paid out before the investment period.
Loan guarantees
When the government acts as guarantor of a loan, it agrees to reimburse, in part or in full, the amounts granted to the company in case of default by the borrower. Loan guarantees are provided before a loan is granted.
Incubators and accelerators
Incubators and accelerators are organizations that offer a range of support and funding services for certain businesses.
