Ontario's Digital Competence Centre pays for a Digital Adoption Consultant to assess how your business runs and write you a digital modernization plan. It funds the planning work, not the software itself, and the finished plan is what qualifies you for the larger Technology Demonstration Program grant. Open to Ontario for-profit small and medium businesses with 1 to 499 employees. First-come, first-served while funds last.
Review times vary by program, from a few weeks to a few months, so check the official page for its timeline. Grant money is usually paid after you sign a funding agreement, and cost-shared programs often reimburse you once you send proof of what you spent.
