Capital Investment & Technology Adoption Funding

Capital & Tech Adoption Grant, Loan, and Funding Programs Mentor Works Can Write for Your Business.

Capital investment funding is available to support Canadian business’ focused technology and software adoption projects. As opposed to business expansion funding, which generally focuses on larger expansion projects that are completed over multiple phases, capital investment grants and loans tend to support specific spends that are directly attributable to improved business performance. Companies can access technology funding programs at both the federal and provincial level to offset project costs, which enables firms to purchase innovative technologies sooner than would’ve been possible by only using cashflows.

Canadian Capital Investment & Technology Adoption Resources

To be successful over a long period of time, Canadian firms must continuously invest in operations. Purchasing technology and other assets can have immediate and sustained benefits that directly impact competitiveness, yet few companies have a defined plan for these investments. Forward-looking, proactive companies can continuously improve and offer better products/services to customers through internal investments, which makes planning and execution of investments so important.

What types of investments is your company making? Find resources to support your upcoming capital investment and technology adoption projects by choosing one of the following options:

Government grants and loans can be used to strategically offset these costs and improve the financial return of capital investments.
