A grant is non-repayable funding from a federal, provincial or municipal body to support a defined project — R&D, hiring, exporting, training or capital. Unlike a loan, you do not pay it back; unlike a tax credit, it is awarded up front (often cost-shared, meaning you fund part of the project too).
Grants are non-repayable and usually project-specific. Loans (CSBFP, BDC, EDC) are repayable capital. Tax credits (SR&ED, digital media) reduce tax owed or are refunded when you file. Most companies stack all three on a single initiative.
Generally, government assistance is included in income or reduces the cost of the related expenditure, which can affect your SR&ED claim. Treatment varies by program — always confirm with your accountant. CanaGrants links the official program terms on every brief.
Build a reusable business profile (industry, province, headcount, revenue, stage) and CanaGrants scores all open grants against it out of 100 — so you can prioritize the ones you may qualify for, with the eligibility clauses surfaced and the official source linked to verify before you apply.
