FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of government grants are available to businesses and entrepreneurs in the Almaguin Region?
Check out our opportunities page here.
Depending on the type of business you operate (or are planning to open), there are various grant opportunities that you may be eligible for. Eligibility is the key word here. Each grant program has a specific objective it is aiming to achieve. How well your project (start-up, expansion) fits within program objectives will ultimately determine what is available to you. Our team recommends getting in touch with us for a confidential consultation so we can recommend any programs or resources for you to consider.
Do I have to pay for ACED Services?
Our services are absolutely free to business operators and entrepreneurs across the Almaguin Region. These services are made possible through the support of our local municipalities and through the generous support of the Federal and Provincial Governments.
Where can I find the business directory?
Our business directory can either be viewed on a map, or as a list by going to "Explore" and selecting the appropriate option. The map can be found here.
You can use the filter option to find the specific industry you are looking for, and use the map to find a business close to your location. If you do not see your business listed, please submit your business information using this Form.
