‘Government grants aren't available for small businesses'. The conception is that government grants are only available for companies involved in technology or large manufacturers. Or, that you need to be innovative to create an iPad or biofuel cellular widgets to qualify.

Time to break that misconception and learn about what is available for your small business, yet growing businesses in B.C.

This session will answer the following questions:

• What types of grant programs are available for B.C. businesses?
• For businesses that are simply looking for loans, who can you go to?
• What you need to prepare before you apply for grants?
• What is the typical process for grant proposal submission?
