Estimate Your Funding Breakdown
Estimate how your project funding may be structured based on our available programs.
Use this tool to get a general breakdown of owner’s equity, grant funding, and loan amounts. This is a starting point to help you understand how funding works before applying.
The calculator uses minimum owner equity requirements and maximum potential program contributions for illustration purposes. Actual financing and grant amount will be determined through the application and assessment process.

Business Plan Template
We use a modified version of the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) business plan template to support applicants through the planning process.
This template is designed to help you organize your thoughts, clarify your business idea, and prepare key information required for your application.
While completing a business plan is not required to apply, it is strongly recommended, especially for start-up businesses. It can help streamline the review process and ensure your project is clearly understood.
