On average, business leaders identified eight challenges facing their company, with cost reduction, retaining customers, building, and maintaining client loyalty, and enhancing ecommerce at the top of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What else is keeping retail business owners up at night? With plans for stability and growth, there&#8217;s often a lack of sufficient funding which becomes a major obstacle for retailers. Retailers don&#8217;t want to tackle this alone \u2014 the survey revealed that business leaders are looking for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a mission for growth, retailers called out the need for support in marketing with focus on both digital and social media too. With the increasingly crowded online space, they&#8217;re exploring different ways to expand reach and get noticed across digital channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A retail owner smiling while opening the door of her shop. \" class=\"wp-image-75918\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1469726959-scaled-5.jpg?resize=2048,1366 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RBC&#8217;s network of business partners can help retailers tackle their biggest challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s clear that retailers are navigating numerous challenges and actively seeking solutions to overcome them \u2014 and for RBC&#8217;s retail clients, tapping into the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/business\/beyond-banking\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beyond Banking<\/a> portfolio of partners can provide options and advantages to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBC Beyond Banking gives clients access to a range of products and services that can help their businesses grow. For RBC&#8217;s retail business customers, taking advantage of the program&#8217;s partners like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/business\/beyond-banking\/government-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GrantMatch, <\/a>which helps companies secure funding through government grants, can be the answer to the help they&#8217;ve been looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GrantMatch uses a sophisticated algorithm that allows it to match businesses with relevant grant opportunities they might otherwise miss out on. RBC clients enjoy perks like access to a free software tool called FAST, which provides a list of recommended grant programs based on the business&#8217;s unique profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RBC clients can also receive a discount on grant-writing services and a reduced rate for the GrantMatch Hub \u2014 a subscription-based service that gives users customized, continually updated grant program matches, plus exclusive content, and application trackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gibson Ingram, Director of Product Marketing &amp; Growth at GrantMatch, believes businesses of all sizes are passing up a huge opportunity by not applying for the numerous government grants available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese organizations are missing out on crucial funding for growth, hiring, training, new equipment, facilities, and more,&#8221; Ingram says. \u201cMany businesses struggle with awareness, expertise, and time and don&#8217;t understand how to decode a grant application. These are the pain points that we&#8217;re helping them solve.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the specific issues that business owners in the retail sector are up against, Ingram wants to assure them: There&#8217;s a grant for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the key categories of grant funding in Canada is hiring and training grants, which can really help with retaining talent,&#8221; he says. \u201cAnd for businesses that need help with ecommerce and marketing, there is funding available to build a website and engage in digital marketing to help them grow online.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses struggling with cash flow due to rising borrowing costs and inflation, Ingram notes that engaging GrantMatch can be an attractive financing alternative, since grants are non-dilutive \u2014 meaning you don&#8217;t have to give up any ownership of your business to qualify \u2014 and are often non-repayable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2023\/09\/iStock-1187011005-scaled-3.jpg\" alt=\"A person pouring a glass of beer from the tap.\" class=\"wp-image-51522\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Powering growth: A retail success story with the help of RBC Beyond Banking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RBC client Steam Whistle, Canada&#8217;s largest independent craft brewer, leveraged their RBC relationship to partner with GrantMatch so that they could secure funding for an expansive new facility. The result? $1.33 million in government funding to expand and the creation of 175 new full-time jobs in Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The experts at GrantMatch connected Steam Whistle with The Jobs &amp; Prosperity Fund, a provincial funding program that helps businesses across the province boost their productivity, innovation, and export activities. Thanks to GrantMatch&#8217;s premium grant management services, the brewery was able to clinch the funding, ultimately enabling the company to achieve rapid growth and meet customer demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The success of Steam Whistle&#8217;s partnership with GrantMatch is a shining example of how RBC&#8217;s Beyond Banking program can help retail businesses solve their toughest problems. By harnessing the expertise, resources, and creative solutions that these partners bring to the table, retailers can not only survive but thrive as they evolve to keep up with today&#8217;s competitive market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
