Ifpossible,takealookatwhatfundingisavailablebeforetakingonaproject.Ifyoure considering starting a business or launching a project that will require

externalfunding,takealookthroughtheavailablefundingsources.Thisway,you

cantailoryourprojecttotherequirementsoftheprogramfromtheoutset,rather

thantryingtoexplainyourwayintotheeligibilityrequirementslateron.

Your company must prove that it needs the money and that the funding willgenerate economic, human capital or knowledgebased benefits for Canada (or

Ontario, depending on the funding source). We cant emphasize enough how

Be prepared by having the key tools for effective fundraising on hand. Mostfunding programs require you to submit some or all of the items listed below.

Having uptodate versionson hand willgreatly reduce theburden of preparing

fundingapplications.

o Reviewed/auditedfinancialstatements:Whiletheseareonlyreallycalledforinthecaseofestablishedcompanies,itsalsoimportantforstartupcompaniesto

findawayofdemonstratingthattheyhavetheirfinancialhouseinorder.

o Business plan: Its great to keep a basic business plan on hand for fundingapplications,butaplanshouldneverbesubmittedwithoutbeingtailoredtothe

template that theyd prefer you use when submitting anapplication. If you

follow the template to a T, it will make the work of those evaluating your
