Getting government funding was a success
I quit my job January 2022 to start my own business. I tried hard but kept hitting roadblocks. The banks were not helping and every business centre seemed inexperienced. I asked questions and kept getting nowhere.
In March, I joined CanadaStartups.org and right from the start it was different. The expert that was mine contacted me and noted down all of my goals and my plans. They answered all of my questions. Including industry specific ones to my surprise. The experts make recommendations to apply to certain funding programs offered by the government. I was a bit nervouse to do so as I didn't want any debt, but they really showed me the ropes.
I joined at the end of March, applied to 2 programs offered by the government by summer time. I didn't hear anything back till now (November 10th) that I was approved. I amon a trip but had to make sure that I share my experiences and thank the team.
Approved for grants and funding
I joined Canada Startups to get help with finding government programs and get guidance with my plan moving to Canada.
Before I joined, I had many concerns as I've had a bad experience in the past. So had plenty of questions pre-registration. The support team helped quite a bit and answered them all. This helped make the decision to join easier.
After I joined, the staff that were assigned to me helped with the process of getting my idea on paper. I have a business in the US and wanted to expand to Canada. With this, I wanted experts to help me with the right move.
Canada Startup helped.
After my plan was on paper, they did a funding search and found multiple options. They started the application form guidaanve as well and helped me a great deal. A month after applying, they also did a new search and found better options.
I applied to a few options and got a $5000 grant and a $50,000 loan.
Couldn't have done it without the help.
Word of advice to those considering using Canada Startup is to let the experts go and do their job. Don't interrupt.
Very pleased
I was overwhelmed with the task of completing my business plan I had it all written down and lots printed out but a total mess. Once I chose to seek the help from Beth and her team I just had to write them my own words which was easy and they turned it into a masterpiece for me, I was very pleased with the results and communication!would recommend to anyone who needs the help

Great experience! They put the whole package (business plan) together for me. I would never be able to put the package together in a way that they did.
I would highly recommend this service to any new or exciting business owner!

Beth has been fantastic. Our business plan was well written with all the information needed. She built it in a timely fashion. She responded to emails quickly. A very good experience
The personal touch
One of the things I like the most was the personal touch. We were able to communicate easily, and our input was always welcome. The fact that we were able to have professionals help us with any shortcoming we had was very reassuring.
Great experience!
The experience was made great by Justin Fletcher. He was very prompt with his responses to my emails. He answered all the questions I had with ease and confidence. The business plan he and his team put together is very professional and thorough.
Great step by step assistance
I was lost in figuring out how to put a business plan together…but the team of Canadastartups provide templates/guidelines and a step by step outlines to how to estimate year by year financials forecast !
