We registered for your platform in late June 2023 but didn't use it much at the time. After getting a few email reminders of upcoming grants and programs, thought we'd look into it. Glad we did as the 2 programs you suggested were both successful and funded us the $10,000 and $5,500 that we needed. We are still a member, working with Justin. Justin is great! As a plumbing business, most of our work is word of mouth and getting Justin on board with us to push us with the funding search was really helpful as we were able to use the funds to go digital with some of the promotion that we had. This really helped us reach more customers on the web. So very much appreciated.
Candastartup will answer all questions prior to customers signing up and of course payment. After the signup phase is done - they do NOT return calls to help their clients. Our company has made several attempts to get a company representative talk to us and explain their process with absolutely no success. They bombard you with e-mails regarding your business plan, marketing plan at a Cost... more $$money$$. Our company wasted our time and of course money. Canadastartups is not a viable choice NOT a happy customer!

* kept sending messages and requests to sign up and promised every help he could. Once I signed up and paid almost $500, it was as if I was alone. They did not offer any assistance and wanted me to do everything on my own, which defeated the aim of subscribing to them in the first place. My money is gone, but I would like to advise anyone subscribing to them to watch out as they are not who they claim to be. They do not offer any help. They will request more money with every service you require within their platform.

My complaint is not with the people but rather the services. The main reason I signed up with them was to get help with my business plan for starting a small business with a camp and quad resort. But I was not willing to pay an additional 250 bucks for this addon. This should have been included. I ended up doing it all myself. I was ready to pull out right there but thought what could it hurt to see what they come up with as far as potential grants. After my plan was done they came back to me 5 days later with one potential client that I had already applied for outside of Canada Startups. I was hoping they would have had some awesome database of clients I couldn't find on my own. Boy was I wrong. For the money signing up and had they been a little more helpful with my business plan this company wouldn't be completely useless. In conclusion, If your starting a small business in the tourism industry and are looking for grant money, you won't find it here. The Liberal government is busy lighting fires and supporting another proxy war and not investing in Canadians. (F%$k Trudeau!). If you risk for this service use paypal. At least you can attempt to retrieve your money back
ANOTHER FAKE COMPANY THAT STEAL PEOPLE MONEY SELLING SERVICES THEY WONT PROVIDE. THEY SAY THEY WILL CREATE A BUSSINES PLAN SO I COULD GET FUNDED TO START MY BUSINESS AFTER I MADE THE PAYMENT I REALIZED I GOT SCAMED AND THE AGENT STOPED ANSWERING THE FONE.
Tip for consumers:
ITS NOT A GOVERNMENTAL SITE
This business is only intrested in your money, they will never provide you with actual real help. They will send you a copy and past PDF without dated links and claim they have done "work" for you. Even after I pointed out they have broken links in their "work" no response or apologies were made. After my Google review the threatened to close my account if I dodnt remove it or give them a positive review. They since emailed me saying my account is going to be closed. So now they took my money and refuse to continue helping me find funding. From my experience they are just scammers. I do not recommend them to anyone.
