Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are required to collaborate with a certified digital advisor to formulate their digital adoption plan, or they must have an approved digital adoption plan in place.
We will help you effectively plan and leverage digital technologies to enhance your online presence, streamline business operations, increase customer interaction, and foster overall growth.
Yes, you can.
No. The business must provide a copy of the invoices and proof of payment in order to receive a reimbursement.
The Government of Canada will reimburse you for up to 90 percent of eligible expenses, up to $15,000. Once the digital advisor from GEO has completed work on your digital adoption plan you need to submit the relevant invoices to receive your grant payment.
As a business owner you can prepay the monthly subscription up to $2,400 and submit the invoice and proof of payment to claim the micro-grant.
E-Commerce related software is eligible for 100% of grant amount.
Hardware and accompanying non-ecommerce related software are eligible for up to 20% of total grant amount.
Example: An example of limited coverage for software would be any software that is bought with the equipment that is required to support an e-commerce strategy. If a small business buys a new e-commerce integrated point of sale (POS) system that costs $1,300, CDAP will cover 20% or $260.
The maximum amount of the grant that can be allocated to hardware and related software is 20% of $2,400 or $480.
No, your business must have an e-commerce presence to be eligible for funds for digital marketing.
