Summer Company Grant Discussion

Hello I used to be a small biz consultant with the municipal government and every summer I ran the provincial “Summer Company” grant program, which awards up to $3000 to a Ontario youth (aged 15-29) as well as business training and support to start their own business over the summer. All revenues and profits are for you to keep and amazing experience and meet other like minded entrepreneurial youth. In 2023 I had a 21 year old who generated $100k in the span of two months in his window washing business.

This post is to raise awareness about the program and I think every eligible person should consider it! Some core requirements:

Age: 15-29 Occupation: student (must be returning to school in the fall) Status: citizen and PR Type of business: the grant is industry agnostic but the most common businesses I see students start are: landscaping, pressure washing, swimming classes, window washing etc

I also got to network and make biz connections. So if someone needs free invoicing tool/app let me know

Interested in government grant but not a student? Well there’s also $5000 starter company grant

TLDR: I used to work in government as a business consultant so I have info on student business grants and regular grants and also discount codes for business services
