2014 GOVERNMENT GRANTS FOR BUSINESS
Ottawa, Ontario January 1st, 2014
2014 is upon us and many small businesses owners are looking to maximize their businesses growth for the coming year. Government Grants and Government secured Loans are two of the tools available to Canadian Businesses in order for them to take advantage of the various opportunities that may present themselves in this New year.
Depending on the industry that a business operates in, the first few months of the year can be busy or quiet. Regardless of wether a business has a seasonal high, or low in terms of activity at this time of year, it remains the optimal time to pursue funding for the upcoming year's ventures.
New programs are often introduced in January of every year. Many of the funding programs that have been announced over the previous year will come into effect at the beginning of a calendar year. A lesser known fact is that many government grants and government loans programs have a fixed annual budget that resets in sync with the calendar year.
These two facts combine to present a unique opportunity for Canadian business owners:

GOVERNMENT OF CANADA FUNDING VENTURE CAPITAL SERVICENiagara Falls, Ontario - November 2013 Providing government grants and government secured loans is only 1 of the many ways that the Government of Canada encourages and supports Canadian businesses. One of the most important functions of the Government in business financing opportunities for small business is in encouraging venture capital investments in business start-ups. To this effect the Canadian Government is renewing it’s commitment to venture capital and angel investor development through increased funding of The Niagara Angel Network. Thanks to this $100,000 investment, The Niagara Angel Network will be able to connect more angel investors with promising new start-up businesses across the Niagara region. The investment is being provided through FedDev Ontario's Investing in Business Innovation (IBI) initiative. The Niagara Angel Network is a not-for-profit angel network located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and is part of the Ontario Network of Angel Organizations. This new investment permits the Angel Network to expand its base of active angel investors to respond to the funding needs of business start-ups. In 2011, the Niagara Angel Network received $50,000 through the IBI initiative to expand its angel investor base through investment attraction activities. This financial support led to increased membership in the Network, and an increased availability of capital in the Niagara Region. "This funding has helped our Angel investor group exceed $3 million worth of investments while leveraging an additional $10.8 million from other sources of funding," according to Terry Mactaggart, Chairman for Niagara Angel Network. "With the Government of Canada's support, the Niagara Angel Network is helping to build the next generation of companies in Niagara and beyond." FedDev Ontario supports the southern Ontario economy by creating opportunities for jobs and economic growth.
