CDAP $2,400 Grow Your Business Online Grant: Closed

Grow Your Business Online was Stream 1 of the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP). It offered eligible consumer-facing small businesses microgrants of up to $2,400 to help adopt e-commerce technologies, along with access to e-commerce advice.

According to ISED’s 2024–25 program reporting, the stream ended March 31, 2025. Its historical terms should not be used to plan a new application in October 2026.

Why this page remains available

Some businesses still encounter references to the $2,400 grant in older articles, supplier proposals or saved application materials. Keeping a clearly labelled archive helps explain what the program was and prevents an old promotion from being mistaken for available funding.

The grant was intended for eligible e-commerce adoption. It was not an unrestricted allowance for any website, SEO campaign or marketing expense. This page no longer includes instructions to apply, approval-time estimates or promises of full reimbursement.

Planning your next digital project

Begin with a concrete business need: accepting online payments, handling bookings, improving product information or reducing manual order processing. Ask for an itemized quote that separates development, software, training and ongoing costs.

If funding is essential, confirm a currently available program with its administrator before committing money. Check the applicant rules, eligible expenses, written-approval requirements and reimbursement conditions. An archived grant page does not establish eligibility for a different program.

If you have an existing agreement or an unresolved claim from the original program, contact the administrator named in your documents. Your agreement and the administrator’s instructions govern that matter.
