How can funding help your business?

Funding provides the initial capital required to turn your business idea into a reality. It covers expenses such as product development, market research, branding, legal fees, and initial operational costs. Without funding, it can be challenging to get your business off the ground.

As your business grows, funding can fuel expansion initiatives. It enables you to scale operations, hire additional staff, expand into new markets, invest in marketing and advertising, and upgrade equipment or technology. Funding supports the necessary infrastructure and resources needed to accommodate growth opportunities.

Manitoba Government Funding

As a Manitoba small business owner, you are in luck. The Manitoba government allocates billions of dollars each year in an attempt to support small businesses across the province. Funding support comes from local, provincial, and federal governments and is typically in the form of a government grant, a low-interest or no-interest loan, tax credit, or financial contributions.

Our Small Business Funding Database currently contains 413 grant programs, 197 loan programs, and 310 assistance programs to select from. Funding varies in amounts from $1,000 to over $5 million in potential funding to small business owners across Manitoba.
