Entrepreneurs need money - that's no secret.

Futurpreneur Canada offers young entrepreneurs up to 20 000 $ for business start-ups. Additional financing is also available, thanks to a partnership with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), under which you can obtain 40 000 $ more. An additional 25,000$ is also available to you thanks to SADC Matawinie's Youth Strategy. Futurpreneur Canada helps businesses of all kinds: skilled trades, technologies, retail stores, service companies and more. It grants financing based on personality and the quality of the business plan.

In addition to obtaining a loan, you'll reap all the benefits of the industry-leading mentoring from Futurpreneur Canada. Each entrepreneur is personally matched with an experienced business mentor, who will accompany him or her for the first two years of the business, to promote knowledge transfer and ensure a higher success rate. A mentor is an invaluable resource for a young entrepreneur, with years of business experience behind him or her.

We are proud to offer the Futurpreneur Canada program as an official local partner.
