I spoke to a rep who called me , he hung up on me mid sentence, at first I though it was a mistake but he never called back. I guess he figured out that he couldn't get any money from me. I just got the info I needed straight from the government website so I guess this company is irrelevant and just out to make money. You can also get the info you need from 1 800 O-Canada

UKBFC provided me with a great service and delivered as promised :)
This portal provides a platform where you can search for funding based on your needs and project status. It is a one stop shop that saves lot of time and effort. I was able to get funding within 4 months and in addition to that it provided me with lot of contacts, networking and information that I can use as I move further along with my startup.
I would definitely recommend this portal as you have noting to lose here!

I was contacted immediately to sign up for several grants /loans that would 'possibly' apply to me. After I payed the one time refundable usage fee, very little was available for me. However BEFORE I signed up the sales representative had told me MANY grants/loans applied to me! I was able to get a (one)fisherman's loan for a new vessel with CBDC. This was the ONLY loan available for me. I have a short term loan with a very high interest rate! I had to provide MANY legal documents which took my lawyer several days to complete with additional expenses! Even though I am very grateful for this loan it does not come without cost. In my opinion it is a very risky commitment for any new business owner. I would recommend a local financial institution over this.
I am still waiting for my refundable membership fee;(it's been over a month since I applied) I am hopeful I will receive this after I complete this "mandatory review"
Honest review,
Female entrepreneur.
My experience with The Centre for Small Business Financing was exceptional. The people I spoke with on the phone were extremely helpful in me getting funding for my small business start up and have continued to help me search for grants to help build my business. It is a key item to the success I have had so far.

The center assisted us to find the right financing options for our business.
The Centre For Small Business Financing is an excellent resource for new start-ups and entrepreneurs. Government grants and loans come from a variety of sources and they all have different eligibility requirements. It can quickly become overwhelming trying to find the ones that are relevant to your business. The Centre not only collects the funding options for you in one easy-to-use database, but it also allows you to sort those options by specific criteria and it provides important information regarding your eligibility. It was a definite time saver for me and I would recommend it to anyone looking to receive government funding for their business.
Had a good experience with the company from the get-go. Good support, explanation and service at the end. Perfect tool for startups seeking funding
The Centre for Small Business Financing did what I expected. The website was easy to use and navigate, it displayed all the potential sources of funding my organization was eligible for, and helped me organize which channels I could reach out to. Ultimately, it saves a lot of time trying to look for financing. Instead of hiring someone, you could just use the website search tool.
this tool provides access to remarkable programs that are available for new and established businesses.
