| |
| Africa’s SMEs have little access to finance, which thus
hampers their emergence and eventual growth. Their
main sources of capital are their retained earnings and
informal savings and loan associations (tontines), which

Government Business Grants in Canada. Are They a Myth?

Often they are not aware of the programs of another division within their own departments. Many government programs provide funding that is non - repayable but are not called grants. Some government departments finance third party sectoral or community based organizations to administer funding on their behalf.
