A Non-Repayable Government Grant for Canadian Businesses

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, having a powerful online presence is essential for any business to thrive.

That's why the Government of Canada has launched the Grow Your Business Online initiative - a transformative program designed to empower small and medium-sized enterprises with the tools and resources they need to succeed in the digital realm.

Unlock a World of Digital Possibilities

The Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP) provides a $2,400 grant to help businesses like yours overcome the barriers to digital transformation. As a non-repayable government-funded initiative, CDAP ensures that you have the resources to compete and succeed in the crowded digital marketplace - at no expense to you.

Unlike other funding programs, the CDAP grant is designed to be accessible and beneficial for businesses of all sizes and stages. By subsidizing the cost of your digital initiatives, this government-backed initiative ensures that you have the resources to compete and succeed in the crowded online marketplace - at no expense to you.

To qualify for the CDAP grant, your business must meet the following criteria:

For Profit Business

Your business must be a for-profit entity (including for-profit social enterprises and co-operatives.)

Your business is not eligible if it is:

  • a corporate chain, franchise or registered charity
  • a representative of a multi-level marketing company
  • a brokerage firm, such as real estate agents, investment advisors, insurance agents, etc.
  • a business that is engaged in online reselling or drop-shipping entirely reliant on third-party suppliers
  • a wholesale or distribution business and manufacturer (unless you sell directly to consumers)

Registered or Incorporated In Canada

Your business must be registered or incorporated with a valid Canadian business number. This includes for-profit social enterprises, co-operatives, and sole proprietorships - as long as you have the necessary Canadian business registration and a Canadian business number.

The key is that your company must have a formal, legal business structure recognized in Canada. This ensures the program supports well-established enterprises, rather than casual or informal business activities.

Consumer Facing

The CDAP grant supports businesses that sell products or services directly to end consumers, whether through physical or online sales channels. This includes companies that traditionally sold to other businesses but have expanded to offer direct-to-consumer options.

Businesses focused solely on wholesale trade or selling exclusively to other companies do not qualify as "consumer-facing." The same is true for entities engaged in drop-shipping or online reselling, as they do not sell directly to the end user.

The key criteria is that your business must have a clear consumer-facing component to be eligible for the CDAP grant.

Minimum Annual Revenue OR Employees On Staff

Your business must have at least one (full time, permanent) employee on staff, aside from the business owner...

**OR**

Must have generated at least $30,000 in annual revenue in your most recent tax year.

This ensures the program supports small and medium-sized enterprises that have demonstrated a certain level of operational maturity and financial stability, beyond a sole proprietorship.

Whether you have a team of dedicated staff or have built a customer base that generates substantial annual revenue, the CDAP grant is designed to empower businesses like yours to take the next step in your digital transformation journey.
