In short: Some links on GrantCompass are affiliate links. When you click them and make a purchase or sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the grant finder free for all Canadian businesses.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that let a company know you were referred by us. When you use one of these links to sign up for a service or make a purchase, we may receive a small commission. You never pay more — the price is the same whether you use our link or go directly.
Which Products Do We Recommend?
We only recommend tools and services that are directly relevant to Canadian business owners applying for grants. These include:
Business registration services — for incorporating your business (often required for grant eligibility)
Accounting and bookkeeping software — for preparing the financial statements grants require
Grant writing services — for professional help with applications
Business funding platforms — for alternative funding when grants aren't the right fit
E-commerce platforms — for launching an online business
Our promise: We never recommend a product solely because it pays a commission. Every recommendation on GrantCompass is something we believe genuinely helps Canadian business owners.
