Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the questions founders most often ask about Laval Économique Virage Techno — Manufactu...

Free
Can sole proprietors apply?
No — the program requires a business to be legally incorporated (e.g., corporation or partnership). Sole proprietors must register as a business entity to qualify.
What's the typical award amount?
Most applicants targeting automation or digital upgrades receive $25,000–$50,000. The full $50,000 ceiling applies to eligible production-sector businesses in the Virage techno stream.
When are decisions made?
Applications are processed on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted. Early-year applications have the best chance of securing full funding; late-cycle applications may be declined if the envelope is depleted.
Do I need matching funds?
No — the grant is non-repayable and does not require matching funds. However, all funding sources must be declared in the application.
Can I stack with SR&ED?
Yes — SR&ED tax credits may apply to eligible R&D labour and materials related to the automation project. The municipal grant does not disqualify SR&ED eligibility.
