Fantastic experience with Canada Startups and the grant getting process. Working with Justin and Beth landed me into a number of grants. $1500, $10,000 and $25,000 grant. All 3 have been applied for with their help and approved. First two took 4 months but the 25k grant was approved in 3 weeks.

Beware of Scam Risks in Startup Support Services

Starting a business is an exciting but challenging endeavor, and many entrepreneurs seek outside help to navigate the complexities of funding and planning. Unfortunately, not all service providers operate with integrity. There are reports of companies, such as the one referred to as "Canada Star Up," that claim to assist with securing grants and launching businesses but fail to deliver on their promises.

Clients have reported paying fees—sometimes around $500—only to receive minimal or ineffective support in return. Instead of comprehensive guidance or grant assistance, some receive a hastily prepared business plan on a single sheet of paper, which holds little practical value. Worse, requests for help with essential tasks like filling out official forms go unanswered, leaving entrepreneurs unsupported and out of pocket.

This experience highlights a significant risk faced by new business owners: falling victim to scams disguised as legitimate consulting services. Such companies often leverage the hope and urgency felt by startups to secure upfront payments without providing meaningful assistance. It is crucial to research thoroughly, verify credentials, and seek recommendations before engaging any service promising business startup support or grant acquisition.

In conclusion, while external help can be invaluable in starting a business, caution is paramount. Entrepreneurs should be vigilant against fraudulent operators who exploit their ambitions and financial resources. Taking steps to confirm the legitimacy of service providers can help safeguard investments and improve the chances of successful business launch and growth.

Canada Startups has put my business on the map and leap frogged me ahead of my competition already in the early stages having them just built my business plan which exceded all expectations. Blown away! Love it. Read it 2x already. Lol

Super quick to respond and very accommodating

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with (Kian Royaie)who provided an exceptional explanation and review of all the applications relevant to my business needs. His guidance helped me understand what I required and what I needed to implement, which was invaluable for my comprehension. I was unaware of the programs they offered, and I'm extremely satisfied with the experience. It was a genuine pleasure to work with them and establish my new business, thanks to the resources and support they provided.

Fantastic service with getting grants. Canada Startups helped me with $75,000 in grants to start company.

Beth Blaise and the team did an outstanding job reviewing and editing my business plan. They truly understood my vision and passion for my business, showing detailed understanding through explaining what my business is all about, the precision in the financial charts, along with the overall mission.

They give you step by step instructions. It makes it easy.

Professionalism, timely turn around of an experts’ rewrite (Beth Blaise) made this an exceptional experience. It gave me a comprehensive view of my own company and company vision, that I would invest in if I were an investor. Absolutely! It impressed me. Great job!

Quick service. attentive reps. Very detailed and fast delivery

I feel the rep was very knowledgable and answered all my questions.

We started working with Canada Startups to help guide us in preparing a professional business plan, pitch deck and explore funding options. The communication has been good and our business plan is much more detailed than what we would have written ourselves.

Very straightforward, cut right to the chase and told me what they can offer me from the start. I would recommend having a chat with these folks to understand the Grant system.

The company made my experience great because they broke down the steps for me to understand by simplifying the information in a way that I could understand. Also, they've made my business plan ready for success.

The plan is well written and the feedback was helpful. They also included items that I feel are necessary to share with the potential supporters.

The staff made the whole process so simple and easy! I am so pleased with the business plan and pitch deck they created for me.

they are fast and honest with timing, good use of information also

Very great job , respectful and provided a great service
