We registered for your platform in late June 2023 but didn't use it much at the time. After getting a few email reminders of upcoming grants and programs, thought we'd look into it. Glad we did as the 2 programs you suggested were both successful and funded us the $10,000 and $5,500 that we needed. We are still a member, working with Justin. Justin is great! As a plumbing business, most of our work is word of mouth and getting Justin on board with us to push us with the funding search was really helpful as we were able to use the funds to go digital with some of the promotion that we had. This really helped us reach more customers on the web. So very much appreciated.
* kept sending messages and requests to sign up and promised every help he could. Once I signed up and paid almost $500, it was as if I was alone. They did not offer any assistance and wanted me to do everything on my own, which defeated the aim of subscribing to them in the first place. My money is gone, but I would like to advise anyone subscribing to them to watch out as they are not who they claim to be. They do not offer any help. They will request more money with every service you require within their platform. *Personal information redacted by admin

Tip for consumers:
Keep track of the funding programs as they come out. My impression initially on funding was that the programs are always the same but a lot of the funding changes all the time.

We worked with Justin using both the business plan guidance and the funding search tools.
We were provided a dozen method to apply to after our first funding search. Was helpful but very overwhelming. Our expert definitely stepped up and provided such a spectacular service and hand held us through the process. Must say, am pleased. Thank you
Funding via government is made out to be impossible appearing but is there for those who take the time to look. In my experience with you guys, this was proven many times over and I apologize for my initial outbursts. Your goal is defined and was very appreciated in helping me raise funds.
Tip for consumers:
Helpful to work at a pace that they guide you in.

The full service start to finish
My partner and I were starting a small business in Kingston, Ontario and our local council stated to us that there is no small business help offered through the government unless we to go to the public library... We ended up contacting CanadaStartups.org in order to ask for some information and they actually helped us a lot and provided us some advice even before we registered with them. After registering, the service we received was excelled and we are quite satisfied with the tools, the resources available to us and the services that we receive on going even to date. Canada Startups platform in our opinion is such a great tool for anybody starting up
Canada Startups was amazing to work with. They made the process very easy and had great, reliable tools that helped me start my own business. Not only did they provide me help in creating my own personal business plan, but they also sourced out government funding to help my business lift off.
I am extremely grateful for all of their help and they continue to support me with any questions and queries that I have. Their support team has been wonderful and have always given me a response within a 24 hour period.
Absolutely amazing customer service!
They are one of the good ones. I would definitely recommend Canada Startups. I have also used the Funding Portal and Grants Centre with terrible experiences so I am glad I found a working, functioning service to help my business. Hope my review you will help you make a better decision
This is one of those tools and services that if you are into your business you dont want to give up and just going ans going and going. We got funded 3 times through a different funding program each time all with their help. Step 1, do a business plan. Step 2, get them to review it and Step 3, apply for everything!
This portal provides a platform where you can search for funding based on your needs and project status. It is a one stop shop that saves lot of time and effort. I was able to get funding within 4 months and in addition to that it provided me with lot of contacts, networking and information that I can use as I move further along with my startup. The team was helpful throughout the process as well.
Experts I dealt with were always very polite and explained everything that they guided me on. This helped me a great deal with understanding the process. They also did provide us with numerous funding agencies to apply to and we will definitely recommend others to use them
Your platform was very helpful and easy to follow. I did my business plan and had your guys help me out with editing it and making it better. In terms of value for the money i spent on registering you've by far exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much for helping me get my business going.
If somebody asked me why I recommend Canada startups I would have to say the following three points
1. Level of support and dedication offered
2. Amount of information provided to help
3. The ease of use of the platform
Not only did Canada startups guide me but through the entire process I felt as if I had another person working for my business
Using the funding database was hard work. There is way too many options and for somebody not computer savvy, it gives me anxiety. However the experts working there really stepped it up and helped. They made it quite simple to find options. Thanks for that.
The startup platform is a very helpful tool for any small business owners starting up or expanding their business. With all of the tools and resources you guys provide, your platform is one of the best to help with the actual startup process and with the business plan. Additionally the funding database helped me locate a few programs offered by the government that I didn't even know existed.
Justin Fletcher was very expert assigned and I must say this guy never sleeps. I work during the day and my nights are free to manage my business, so having the experts there to provide support at odd times of the night was so helpful. Recommended service.
After much struggle to find funding and to be approved on my own, I asked Canada Startups for help. They killlleed it! Got me funded, but most importantly they helped me save thousands instantly due to mistakes I had in my operational financials. Appreciate your hard work team!
Canada Startups was full of surprises in terms of what they offer. As a business owner, starting a new business, it is a challege by any means. They were quite helpful with the business plan write up process and planning our financial projections.
One key aspect they focus a lot on is connecting people with funding agencies. With regards to my business, this means a $******* wage support grant and a $******* loan for equipment and renovation. Very helpful and easy going provider.
I registered with CanadaStartups.org as a referral from my bank branch manager. I wasn't approved for a loan via bank due to my credit but Canada Startups helped me find multiple government loan options that I applied to that count the business plan over my credit score more. A very helpful tool in funding, especially when u have bad credit and need all the help you can get.
I actually rate the professionalism and tenacity of my experts, Justin and David, both deserve a 5/5. I believe that they did the best In explaining the process and to get me the best funding options in the midst of all the uncertainty during the pandemic. Managed to secure $75,000 which is a lot more than we initially set out for,
Going into this I didn't know if I will get anything out of it. Not the best with computers but managed to figure it out with their help. The platform ended up being one of the easiest tools for me to use since the team/my experts really got me. Very helpful
I signed up with Canada Startups after calling in to get info on grants and funding available. Government site wasn't helpful but these guys pointed me to the exact options available.
My only reason for the review would usually be to complain, but the service by far exceeded my expectations in every way.
Very useful and helpful.
Justin was very helpful he didn't stop till he got me the best funding sources to help grow my business kept in touch the whole time updated me as much as possible and was very friendly will definitely be doing business with him again highly recommend to talk to him
At first my experince was very good. Didn't fit with my expert, Darren. We just didn't click. I asked to switch my expert and was given a new one who better understood my plan and goals. I did go through the entire method with low expectations but did manage to secure funds so deserve 5 star for you guys. Thank you
Justin was my expert and aside from his knowledge & experiences that he shared with me while working with me on my plan and pitch, he is very polite man, very understanding of my personal circumstances and surely went above and beyond to make this work for me.
I've been a member for 8 months now I cannot rate this program high enough. The canada staetups platform gives you everything you need to know and the team do all they can. Stop wasting time trying to do this on your own, and see this as a investment in a new life style so you can focus in your business and get funding.
Very easy to use platform helped me locate funsing programs for my business which were offered by the government. I couldn't do it in my own simply due to time constraints so CanadaStartups.org really helped.
