CFDC - Do you have a good idea to grow your business?

Sep 13, 2017

Your project may be eligible for an Eastern Ontario Development Program (EODP) grant of up to 50% reimbursement. Some examples of eligible projects;

Trade Shows - to help you expand your market, EODP pays up to 50% of the cost of registration, travel, accommodation and meals to attend a trade show that you have not exhibited at previously

Skills training - we have had a self-employed plumber who have used this funding to become certified gas fitters to expand the services they offer as an example.

E-Commerce - want to build an on-line shopping component on your website – we will pay up to 50%. Or perhaps you need help with implementing a point of sale system

Technical / Expert support - would your business benefit by tapping into some expertise? EODP can reimburse up to 50% of the cost. We have a client who has benefited from hiring a niche marketing consulting firm. Another client built a new commercial facility and EODP assisted with the technical drawings.

Equipment - The EODP may be able to assist with up to 50% of the cost if the equipment is innovative and/or you can demonstrate that it will improve your productivity and profitability.

For eligibility criteria and guidelines, visit https://frontenaccfdc.com/start/grants/. If you don’t have the 50% required as your contribution, we may be able to assist with a loan.
We are accepting applications for projects that are completed by December 1, 2018 subject to available funding.

Normally if you have a fully completed application into us by the second Monday of the month, you will know by the end of the month whether it was approved or not.
