Do you need support for your business during COVID-19?

The Ontario government continues to provide a variety of supports to employers facing challenges as a result of COVID-19. The government will now be providing even more support to small businesses that are required to close or severely restrict their operations due to the necessary Provincewide Shutdown. This will help ensure they can continue serving their communities and employing people once COVID-19 has been eradicated.

The new Ontario Small Business Support Grant, will provide a minimum of $10,000 and up to $20,000 to help small business owners during this challenging period. For more information about this grant, please view the Government of Ontario's website.
