Businesses of different sizes and across diverse sectors are feeling the effects of changing trade and market conditions in different ways. What unites them is the drive to adapt, pursue new opportunities and resource their plans for the future.

CANtrade™ provides flexible, growth-focused financing to help eligible local businesses strengthen their competitiveness, diversify and invest with confidence.

Loan Features

  • Loans from $5,000 to $150,000
  • Interest rates from prime to prime +2%
  • Repayment terms up to 60 months
  • Interest-only payments for the first six months
  • No prepayment penalties

Financing may support projects such as diversifying supply chains, expanding into new markets, increasing production capacity, investing in technology and talent, improving operational efficiency, developing new products or services, and providing working capital to support stabilization and growth.

CANtrade™ is available to eligible existing, viable, for-profit businesses located and operating in Augusta, Edwardsburgh Cardinal, North Grenville or Prescott. This is not an emergency relief program: applicants should demonstrate how their proposed investment will help the business respond to the current trade environment and unlock new opportunities.

The program is open until March 31, 2027. Contact CF Grenville to discuss your plans and determine whether CANtrade™ is the right fit for your business.

CANtrade™ is delivered through the national Community Futures Program, funded by the Government of Canada through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).
The CANtrade™ mark is used under licence from Nventure.
