Grants for BC Businesses

WeBC November 11, 2021
BC Business Grants

Contrary to popular belief, grants for business start-ups are few and far between. Aside from there being a limited pool of accessible money, the application process and reporting requirements can be a serious drain of your time. In most cases, the procedure required to obtain a grant is simply not a practical use of the new business owner’s time.

WeBC does not have a grant program, but we do offer small business loans. We are not associated with the Small Business Finance Centre or The Centre.

When looking into small business grants, remember: You should never have to pay for grant information!

We recommend checking with Better Business Bureau before paying money for information about grants.
