Program Guide FAQ

The Grow Your Business Online Grant

CDAP Grow Your Business Online is now closed for applications. If you submitted your application prior to the September 30th deadline, your application is in queue to be reviewed and you will be contacted by our team.

As part of the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP), the Government of Canada has partnered with the Ontario Chamber of Commerce to deliver the Grow Your Business Online grant.

Through this program, small business owners can receive a micro-grant worth up to $2,400 to help get their business online, give their e-commerce presence a boost, or digitalize business operations. The CDAP program is a reimbursement grant. Successfully grant recipients must incur costs upfront after they have received conditional approval. Funds are paid out to the recipient after they are able to provide the OCC with the required proof of payment documentation. Grant recipients must commit to maintaining their digital adoption strategy for at least six months.

In addition, e-commerce advisors will be available to work with grant recipients to help identify their digital needs, provide links to digital resources, help with completing applications, and answering questions on the Grow Your Business Online program.
