Frequently Asked Questions
No, it is a free service offered by Invest Mississauga in partnership with Fundica.
Anyone can simply create an account and go.
Any business in Canada that is incorporated or planning to incorporate can sign up for Fundica; this includes startups as well as medium and large-sized corporations in all industries.
Using their unique search system, they intelligently filter and identify grants, tax credits, and loan guarantees for specific corporations based on their location (i.e., postal code) and twenty other criteria. They only include programs with available funding that fits within the selected criteria.
Fundica’s funding search tool is kept up to date by their funders, who add and modify their programs, our dedicated funding research team, and our patent-pending, semi-automated crawling, tracking, and updating system.
Fundica uses both primary and secondary filters to optimize your search results:
- The company profile you make when you create your account acts as the primary filters, determining which funding programs are displayed when you first log in.
- The filtering options located on the upper right-hand side of your search results are your secondary filters. These filters are tailored to any business activity or project you may be conducting and for which funding may be available.
- Year of creation: Many funding opportunities and support programs exist for early-stage businesses and startups, such as microgrants, incubators and accelerators. However, most government funding and some commercial financing requires businesses to be incorporated in order to be eligible.
- Year of incorporation: Once a business becomes incorporated, they become eligible for more government grants, loans, loan guarantees, and tax credits, as well as any many other sources of financing. Certain programs also use the age of the business as condition for eligibility. In that case, the date of incorporation is almost always used instead of the date of creation.
