Not only can you reach a broader range of customers when you take your business online, but digital technology can also help you automate tasks, develop more efficient processes, boost your brand presence, and access a greater selection of inventory and suppliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, implementing digital technologies may be an overwhelming prospect for many small- and medium-sized businesses. There&#8217;s a lot that can stand in the way of making a digital shift, whether you&#8217;ve always done business a certain way, have little time to research and implement new or additional technology, or lack the expertise to make it happen. Recognizing this reality, the Government of Canada has launched the <a href=\"https:\/\/ised-isde.canada.ca\/site\/canada-digital-adoption-program\/en\/grow-your-business-online-get-started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP)<\/a>, a $4 billion investment to help small- and medium-sized businesses get online and adopt new technologies in order to increase competitiveness and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGiving Canadian small businesses and entrepreneurs access to programs and services that can enable them to digitize their business is a crucial strategy, especially given current market conditions that reward businesses that are agile, adaptable, and innovative. CDAP is just one example of the many grant programs available that are supporting business owners as they grow and make investments.&#8221; Dieter Eisbrenner, President of GrantMatch, a software-enabled services firm that specializes in securing government grants and incentives for diverse North American businesses across many sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CDAP supports businesses in reaching their full potential through two funding options to help businesses get online and use technology to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Apply for a CDAP Grant:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-rbc-list default is-style-blue-disc\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p class=\"is-style-default default\">Visit the CDAP page on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ised-isde.canada.ca\/site\/canada-digital-adoption-program\/en\/about-canada-digital-adoption-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Government of Canada website<\/a>\u00a0and identify which grant you may be eligible for.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Connect with a local service provider listed on the program web site who will help you develop a spending plan and apply for the grant.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-rbc-list-item\">\n<p>Depending on your local service provider\u2019s criteria as well as what you are looking to fund, once your grant is approved you will be reimbursed for the new costs incurred as part of your approved spending plan or you will choose from a list of approved vendors\/digital adoption advisors on the CDAP web site to implement your approved plan.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Grow Your Business Online Grant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For smaller, consumer-facing businesses, the Grow Your Business Online grant is designed to help SMEs adopt e-commerce technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table-swipe wp-block-rbc-responsive-table-block\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">What is it?<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Eligibility Requirements<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Offers up to $2,400 in funding, this grant is intended to cover costs related to: <\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>The implementation or improvement of a digital e-commerce platform<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Website search optimization<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Software solutions to support an e-commerce strategy<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Applicants must be a registered or incorporated for-profit, consumer-facing business.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Social media advertising<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>The creation of customer databases<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li>Businesses must have at least one employee (other than owner) <u>or<\/u> at least $30,000 in annual revenue in the most recent tax year.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Cyber security costs<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Relevant hardware and software purchases<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><ul><li style=\"padding-bottom: 1em\">Applicants must also commit to maintaining their digital adoption strategy for 6 months<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li style=\"padding-bottom: 1em\">Costs to hire an agency to help plan and implement a digital solution<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>The grant doesn&#8217;t cover costs related to connectivity, upgrading a current website, existing operations, payroll, rebranding and other costs that don&#8217;t support the new development and\/or implementation of digital solutions.<\/p><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boost Your Business Technology Grant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed for larger businesses ready to adopt new digital technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"table-swipe wp-block-rbc-responsive-table-block\"><thead><tr><th scope=\"col\">What is it?<\/th><th scope=\"col\">Eligibility Requirements<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><ul><li>Businesses must be incorporated federally or provincially or be a Canadian resident sole proprietor.<\/li><\/ul><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><ul><li>Provides businesses with up to $15,000 to get advice on the technologies that can propel their business forward.
