Get Funding Support and Enter New International Markets: The CanExport SMEs Grant

If you’re the owner of a Canadian SME, and are looking to enter into new international markets but need additional funding for trade show and marketing initiatives, the CanExport SMEs grant program is a great place to start! 

That’s why we’ve partnered with Canada Asia Business Network (CABN), a financial consulting firm that specializes in supporting Canadian businesses to access funding & business development opportunities across the globe. One of the many services they offer includes grant writing, with a current focus on the CanExport SMEs grant. 

If this program sounds like something that suits your current business needs, then you can connect with CABN by contacting a Tandem Relationship Manager today.

Following your initial inquiry, you’ll receive an email containing additional program information, as well as a spreadsheet where you can begin filling out your application details. 

Once completed, we’ll work alongside you and a grant writer at CABN to guide you through the rest of the application process, to ensure completion by the end of February, 2024 – the expected window for applications to open. 

A grant writing service fee will only be charged on successful applications at a flat rate of $4,980. If your application is unsuccessful, no fee will be charged.
