In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, digital transformation has become a top priority for businesses worldwide. To support Canadian businesses in this endeavour, the federal government has introduced the Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP). This initiative aims to assist companies in adopting new digital technologies by providing grants to fund their digital adoption strategies. As an approved CDAP Digital Advisor, Luminary Software is well-equipped to guide businesses towards a successful digital transformation.

The Boost Your Business Technology Grant: Partnering with a Certified Digital Advisor

The Boost Your Business Technology grant allows businesses to collaborate with certified digital advisors in Canada, such as Luminary Software, to develop a comprehensive digital adoption plan. This plan outlines the cost and roadmap of implementing digital strategies tailored to the specific needs and goals of your business. The grant will cover up to 90% of the cost to develop the digital adoption plan, up to a maximum grant payment of $15,000.

The $100,000 interest free loan through BDC

In addition to the Boost Your Business Technology grant, businesses accepted into the CDAP program’s technology stream are also eligible for a remarkable opportunity – a zero-interest loan of up to $100,000 from BDC. This loan offers a five-year interest-free option to cover the expenses associated with implementing your digital adoption plan.

A closer look at what the loan covers

The 0% interest loan aims to alleviate the financial burden of adopting new digital technologies by covering a wide range of expenses. These expenses can include:

• Purchasing IT equipment: Acquiring the necessary hardware and devices required for a seamless transition to digital platforms.
