Funding

The process of starting and running your own business can be a complex and confusing one. Whether businesses are just starting up or are looking to expand, the most frequently asked questions typically surround the topic of funding:

• What types of funding exist?
• What programs am I eligible for?
• How do I apply?

This funding handbook is intended to familiarize you with some of the programs targeted towards small businesses. It will explain the eligibility requirements, financial information and provide contact information for these different programs.

Please note that this booklet does not include information on every financing program available to small and medium sized businesses. To access a more comprehensive list of funding programs or to learn more about specific programs, please contact the Business Centre Nipissing Parry Sound Inc.
