The capital to grow. The people to get it.
GRC Group helps restaurants and growing Canadian businesses secure government grants and business loans. We find the money, prepare the application, and deal with the agencies and lenders so you can keep running your business.
One team. Every funding source.
Most businesses qualify for more than one kind of money. We line them up together.
Ontario's Modernization Grant: up to $5,000.
For restaurants, food and retail businesses with 1 to 50 employees that are adopting new technology, such as a POS system, online ordering and payments, inventory software, customer management tools or digital marketing.
It's a matching grant: the program pays up to $5,000 and your business matches it. We check your eligibility, scope the project and prepare the application.

We started in restaurants. We still speak the language.
GRC began as Global Restaurant Consulting Group. Our team has spent more than 20 years working alongside restaurant owners through DinePalace and FoodMe, and has helped clients secure more than $9M in grants and $8M in loans. We know thin margins, seasonal cash flow and what it takes to open a second location.
Today we bring that same hands-on approach to any small or mid-sized business looking for funding: retail, services, manufacturing, tech and more.
Then the right loan for the rest.
Every dollar of grant funding is a dollar you don't have to borrow. We always check what you qualify for before we talk to a lender.
