I found the process extremely easy to use. As someone was who overwhelmed with the idea of writing a business plan and all the facets of making this document come together, I was pleased with the result I received from Canada Startups. I would recommend this service to others.

Business plan service

Canada Start-ups is a wonderful help for those getting started in business! Their business plan service saved me time and money and I was able to use it to receive government subsidies almost immediately! The staff is competent and get back to you in a timely manner. Time is money! I highly recommend using their services.

I was looking for funding/ Grants to fund my business and stumbled across "Canada Start up" I sent them an email and received a response right away which was amazing. For a minute I was cautious because of their promptness and willingness to help and guide me through the process. Justin fletcher was my main contact and I am really happy I had the opportunity to work with him I would definitely recommend their service

Working with Justin on my project was a pleasure. He is very efficient and detail oriented. I would recommend their services as they are very knowledgeable of the different loans and grants that were available for my industry.

Its not what they say they will do that they deliver. I was misled.

I spoke to a lady and she told me that the would generate the business plan and also help you to get funding. For me the business planning part was a no -brainer because grants are every where if you have packaged your plan well. right after paying they started selling me all the other things including logo, writing a business plan which is what i paid for in the first place. They showed me a free tool through business link.... and i knew i had been scammed. from then on nobody picks up the phone. This gentleman will only respond through the email and notice now it's a gentle man the lady is nowhere to be found. I left tonnes of messages on their 800 number to no avail.... The first real number she called me on is no longer in service. Definately scatchy!!!! I wouldn't recommend anyone to use this company. BUSINESS LINK is free to use for business planning
